Ingredients for Stuffed Eggplant Aubergine Rolls

  • Eggplants
  • 2 tablespoons salt
  • Cold Water
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • Italian Spices
  • Eggs
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • Mozzarella Cheese
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • Fresh Parsley
  • Ground Black Pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups marinara sauce
  • Romano Cheese

How to Make Stuffed Eggplant Aubergine Rolls

  1. Wash 2 medium eggplants (or 3 medium zucchini), remove stems, peel, and slice lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices.
  2. In a large bowl, combine eggplant slices with 2 tablespoons of salt and enough water to cover completely.
  3. Weight down the eggplant slices with a heavy plate and let sit for 20-30 minutes (longer is better to remove bitterness).
  4. Pat the eggplant slices completely dry with paper towels.
  5. Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. (Be careful; hot oil splatters!)
  6. Dredge each eggplant slice in 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, then dip in 2 large beaten eggs.
  7. Fry the eggplant slices until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  8. Place a 1-tablespoon slice of fresh mozzarella and 1 tablespoon of ricotta cheese in the center of each eggplant slice.
  9. Roll up the eggplant slices and place seam-side down in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  10. Pour 1 1/2 cups of your favorite marinara sauce over the eggplant rolls.
  11. Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 20-30 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
  12. Garnish with 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese and 2 tablespoons of finely chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
