Eggplant rolls with cheese and garlic

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make eggplant rolls? Prepare your ingredients. Which eggplant to use for rolls? Choose a dense, not flaccid, large-sized fruit with a shiny, dark, undamaged skin. The stalk must be in place.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the eggplant and dry with paper towels. Cut off the stem and cut lengthwise into thin slices (about 0.5-0.7 mm thick).

3. STEP 3

   

   To avoid bitter taste, salt the vegetables, transfer to a colander and leave for 15-30 minutes. Then rinse under running water. Lightly squeeze excess moisture out of eggplants.

4. STEP 4

   

   Pour refined vegetable oil into the pan. Fry the eggplant “tongues” on both sides until golden brown. Place them on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

5. STEP 5

   

   To create a beautiful pattern on the eggplants, you can use a grill pan.

6. STEP 6

   

   How to make the filling? Prepare the ingredients listed for the filling.

7. STEP 7

   

   Grate the hard cheese on a medium grater. You can use any cheese, as long as it’s tasty.

8. STEP 8

   

   Peel the garlic cloves and pass them through a press. Combine cheese, garlic and mayonnaise in a salad bowl.

9. STEP 9

   

   Mix everything well. The filling is ready.

10. STEP 10

    

    Spread a thin layer of filling over the entire surface of each eggplant slice. It is better to spread the mixture immediately after frying the strips, since once they cool down, the eggplants will not roll well.

11. STEP 11

    

    Roll the eggplant tongue into a roll.

12. STEP 12

    

    Form all other rolls in the same way. To prevent them from falling apart, secure them with toothpicks. Place on a plate. Before serving, garnish with lettuce and herbs. The eggplant rolls are ready. Bon appetit!

Eggplant rolls are convenient to prepare fresh for dinner right away. You can always diversify the filling with what you have in the refrigerator. This time I had the filling according to this recipe. I added some fresh parsley to the cheese, garlic and mayonnaise for color and taste. I peeled the eggplants because... the skin was rough. This snack is eaten very quickly) The rolls are a little spicy, but the cheese and mayonnaise add tenderness to the filling. These tabs roll up easily, nothing came unraveled) Thanks for the recipe!

I made eggplant rolls with cheese and garlic at my husband’s request; this is his favorite snack. I cut the eggplant lengthwise into several strips. After salting, I left them for 15 minutes so that the bitterness went away. After that, I washed it, squeezed it out and placed it in a frying pan. I fried it in vegetable oil until golden brown. For the filling I used hard cheese, mayonnaise and garlic. I combined it in a deep bowl, mixed it. I put the filling on the edge of the strip, and then rolled it up into a roll. It took a little filling, but it didn’t affect the taste of the rolls. They turned out very appetizing! The taste is fantastic! The eggplant is soft and buttery, the filling is juicy, tender and spicy! We ate the rolls with pleasure! Thank you very much for the recipe!
