Eggplant Involtini Recipe
  1. Firstly, wash the eggplant, cut the tops off, and slice into about ¼ inch (6mm) slices. I get about 8-10 slices per eggplant. Peel prior to slicing if desired.

  2. Brush slices with olive oil and grill using electric grill or grill pan. Remove the grilled eggplant slices as they are done setting aside on a plate. Lightly salt the eggplant slices. For other options see notes.

  3. Place a large tablespoon of prepared filling onto a slice of grilled eggplant. Roll up and arrange into a baking dish. This is obviously a recipe that can easily be adjusted according to how many guests you have.

  4. Combine tomato puree with extra virgin olive oil and salt

  5. Pour seasoned tomato puree over the the rolls and sprinkle with chopped mozzarella.

  6. Bake at 350ºF/180ºC for 20-25 minutes until bubbling and the cheese is melted and golden. By this time your house should smell heavenly.

  7. Once out, let the dish stand for at least 10 minutes before serving. Beautiful with crusty bread and a salad.

  8. Combine all ingredients for filling and set aside.
