Author Notes
There are two stealth ingredients in this recipe. Tupelo honey is in the roulade stuffing to cut the saltiness of the feta and the tang of the goat cheese. And pomegranate molasses helps sweeten the sauce and solidify its blood red color. There is still penty of zing in this one. —cheese1227
