Veggie Stromboli

I've had my fair share of Italian dishes, but I've yet to have stromboli.  I think I might have seen it in for sale at Sbarro (you know, that Italian chain that's always in malls) a few times though.  As a result, it's not really ever been one of those dishes I've been itching to make.  Until last week that is.

I was watching The Chew one day during lunch when Mario Batali made his version with broccoli and cauliflower.  I know that for some of you that probably sounds as appealing as refried beans from a can, but for this veggie lover it struck a chord.

Because I used pre-made pizza dough, this dish took me a total of half an hour to throw together (cooking time included).  I'm sure you could also prep this dish beforehand and pop it in the oven when you get home in the evening.

Mmmm all rolled up and tucked in.

And there isn't really a set combination of ingredients you're supposed to stuff the stromboli with.  Next time I might do chicken and pepperoni.  Who knows!

PS I'm pretty sure that stromboli is usually rolled up jelly roll style, but since Mario folded his dough over that's what I did too.
