Prepare the filling: Start by preparing the broad bean filling. First, remove the beans from their pods and place them in the bowl of a food processor. Add the extra virgin olive oil and Greek yogurt to the beans, then blend until smooth. Season with salt to taste.
-
Prepare the lettuce: Wash the romaine lettuce leaves thoroughly under running water. Pat them dry using a kitchen towel to remove any excess moisture. Next, carefully slice each leaf in half, removing the tough core at the center.
-
Assemble the rolls: Take one half of the lettuce leaf and spread the broad bean and yogurt mixture evenly across its surface. Roll up the leaf tightly, securing it with a sprig of fresh chives tied around the middle to hold everything together.
-
Garnish and serve: Repeat the process with the remaining lettuce leaves. Once all rolls are made, garnish them with a sprinkle of chopped pistachios for added crunch and flavor.
-
Serving suggestion: Serve these stuffed lettuce rolls on a platter, alongside any leftover broad bean cream for dipping. These fresh and healthy appetizers are perfect for any gathering or as a light snack!
