Asparagus and Pepper Stromboli

I saw this recipe in Parents magazine.  The original recipe was not completely vegetarian, so I changed it a little bit.

Easy to prepare vegetarian Stromboli using refrigerated pizza dough, asparagus and yellow pepper.
Ingredients:
  • 1 Cup Sliced Asparagus (Approximately 10-12 Spears)
  • 1 Cup Yellow Peeper, Diced (1 Medium Size)
  • 2 Seeded And Chopped Plum Tomatoes (I Used 1/4 Cup Of Crushed Tomatoes Instead)
  • 1 Clove Minced Garlic (I Used 2 Cloves)
  • 1 Teaspoon Olive Oil
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
  • As Needed Italian Seasoning
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Pepper (Not Mentioned In The Original Recipe)
  • 1 Refrigerated Pizza Tube (I Used Pillsburry Pizza Crust)
  • 1 Cup Shredded Italian Blend Cheese (I Used Part Skim Pizza Blend Cheese)
Vegetarian Stromboli Ingredients
Procedure:
  1. Heat oven to 400F/200C for 15 minutes.
  2. In a glass bowl, combine asparagus, peepers, tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, salt, Italian seasoning and pepper.
  3. Combine all ingredients
  4. Mix them well and here is how it looks:
  5. Mix all ingredients well
  6. Cover and microwave for 4 minutes, stirring once in the middle. Let cool 5 minutes. Drain off excess liquid. (But I did not have any excess liquid)
  7. Unroll pizza dough onto baking sheet and shape into a rectangle.
  8. Unroll pizza dough
  9. Place half of cheese onto bottom third of dough along its length.
  10. Add cheese
  11. Spread veegie filling onto cheese.
  12. Spread veggie mix
  13. Top with remaining cheese.
  14. Top more cheese
  15. Roll up to shape stromboli (into a log).
  16. Roll up
    Roll all the way
    Final Stromboli dough
  17. Bake for 25 minutes.
  18. Baked Asparagus and Pepper Stromboli
  19. Let cool 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Taste:
  1. I got around 23 pieces for this measurement. My husband and I loved it. A different twist to the regular pizza.
My Notes:
  1. This was a bit salty, so you may want to increase the amount of pepper if you want it spicy.
  2. I suggest to cool the baked Stromboli even for 10 minutes, so that slicing will not be difficult and you will also get neat slices.

    I love trying non-Indian vegetables (like, asparagus, celery, artichoke) but hardly know any good, Indianized recipes to use them :)
    Loved this Stromboli. With summer vacations coming up ( and my daughter demanding for different kind of food) this would be a nice recipe to try. Great for picnics too.

  9. Anila says:

    Looks yummy.i have a question.After the oven is preheated to 400 degrees,should we leave the oven on for the 25 minutes when the stromboli is being cooked?.Should i also use a baking sheet or is it ok to put the dough directly on the baking tray.

    Thanks,
    Anila.

    Asha, yes slicing was a bit tricky.

    Priya, thank you for subscribing to my emails. Did you get my email? Did you check the junk folder?

    Sukanya, I’ve not tasted stromboli before. This is the first time I tried and it tasted very good.

    Cham, me too. I was having doubts about the combination, but it worked out well.

    Anjali, hope your daughter would like it. My toddler did not like it as much as he enjoys the regular pizza.

    Jayashree, Hetal, Kamala thank you very much. Let me know how it turns out.

    Anila, how are you? First pre heat the oven for around 10 minutes and then place the stromboli in a baking(cookie) sheet and keep the oven on for another 20-25 minutes.

    Arundathi, HappyCook thank you very much for your appreciation. Arundathi, I got the recipe from Parents magazine and I just omitted the meat.

    Bee, Mansi, Vani yes of course we can come up with different types of filling.

    Uma, thank you very much dear. Congrats on the award and thanks for passing it to me.

    Mona your welcome.

    Ranji, make it for him, he will definitely like it. So will you?

    RedChillies, I’m also not a big fan of asparagus. But anyway I tried this one and it was good. But that said, I think we can come up with different types of stuffing.

    Dee, thank you. Bet he will like it. Hope the bread also comes out well.

    Lakshmi, welcome to my blog. I’m a huge fan of your blog.
