Greek-Style Egg Rolls with a Garlic-Dill Dipping Sauce

[ButterSticks]

A play on a classic Greek dish of shrimp, tomatoes and feta cheese, these egg rolls are also excellent using cooked orzo in place of the rice.


Ingredients
3 sprays cooking spray, divided
8 oz shrimp, large, cooked, peeled and finely chopped
2 Tbsp feta cheese, crumbled
1/2 cup cooked white rice, tightly packed
1/2 cup canned tomatoes, chopped and drained
1/4 tsp dried oregano, crushed
1/4 tsp table salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
12 egg roll wrapper(s)
1/2 cup plain fat-free yogurt
2 Tbsp scallion(s), finely chopped
1/2 tsp fresh dill, minced
1/4 tsp minced garlic
1/4 tsp table salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions
Preheat oven to 400ºF. Coat a nonstick baking sheet with cooking spray.
Combine shrimp, cheese, rice, tomatoes, oregano and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper in a medium bowl; mix well.
Place an egg roll wrapper on a flat work surface with the corners set vertically (pointing up and down – a diamond shape). Arrange 3 tablespoons of filling down the center of wrapper, leaving 1/2 inch at the bottom and top.
Fold the bottom of the wrapper to the center, over the filling. Gently, but firmly, fold the left side of the wrapper to the center and then fold in the right side. Fold the top of the wrapper down to cover filling and seal any loose ends with water; repeat with remaining ingredients.
Place filled wrappers on prepared baking sheet; lightly spray surface of wrappers with cooking spray. Bake until wrappers are golden brown, flipping once, about 16 minutes.
Meanwhile, to prepare dipping sauce, combine remaining ingredients in a bowl.
Yields 1 roll and about 1 scant tablespoon of sauce per serving.

The sauce u have mentioned Buttersticks is Tzatziki, Is It ?, and I want to know if there is a subs to DILL or not , where do u get Dill ,at the grocery section or any where else.I have always seen cilantro/parsley at the vegetable section , but not Dill.

You can buy the dried spice dill in the spice aisle, and i have also seen it sold fresh in the little plastic 'fresh herb' packages. It's not a vegetable so don't look there - look by the other herbs like rosemary, basil and lemongrass.

Lots of times this sauce is made with mint instead of dill.
Though in my ( Greek by Marriage ) opinion dill is much better.



Here is the recipe that my family uses.

2 cups thick yogurt ( strained)
2 cups cucumber, peeled seeded and chopped ( size up to you..MIL grates hers. I leave mine chunky.)
1 clove garlic ( can add more to taste)
2 tsp olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh mint or dill. (I use dill)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice.

Strain yogart and then add all the rest. Mix well.
I always make it a few hours ahead of time so that the flavors all meld
