Aubergine Involtini Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • For the Sauce

  • Puree the onion, garlic and oregano in a food processor. Squeeze out the juices and add to a pan heated with olive oil and cook on a low heat for about 5-6 minutes until softened.
  • Add the 2 tins of tomatoes, sugar and salt and pepper and simmer with the lid on for 20 minutes. Take off the heat and allow to cool, taste to see if it needs more seasoning. You don’t really want it to reduce too much as you need enough of it to cover your aubergine involtini.

  • For the Involtini

  • Pre-heat the oven to 190°C.
  • Cut the aubergine length ways into thin slices. Drizzle them with olive oil, now I have a trick where I mix my olive oil and a bit of water into a small plastic spray and simply spray the aubergine.
  • I cook the aubergine on a hot griddle pan until they have a lovely colour See Photo. When they are ready take them off the heat and let them cool
  • To make the stuffing, puree the onion, garlic and oregano. Add this to the bread crumbs, eggs (pre-mixed in a sepreate bowl), broken up mozzerella and olive oil. Add some salt and pepper, the cinnamon and then use your hands to mix everything together.
  • Roll some of the mixture into a sausage shape and place it at the stalk side of an aubergine slice, roll it away from you to make your aubergine rolls. Place it in an oven proof dish with the open-end placed down on its surface.
  • When you have finished your rolls add the sauce, sprinkle with the rest of the mozzerella torn apart with your hands and sprinkle with a bit more olive oil and oregano.
  • Place it in the oven to cook for 30 minutes, when its ready the cheese should be a golden brown and everything bubble away.
