Eggplant rolls with ricotta, parmesan, and walnuts
Eggplant is probably one of my favorite vegetables, and I try to eat it as often as possible.
I made a stuffed eggplant dish, where eggplant slices are roasted in a ribbed pan with olive oil and then rolled into rolls filled with a ricotta-parmesan mixture.

Preparation time: 1 hour
Level: Easy
Serves: two to four
Ingredients:
Two large eggplants, sliced lengthwise into 5 mm thick slices
300 g ricotta
150 g grated parmesan
A handful of chopped walnuts
A handful of chopped fresh parsley
Sea salt and black pepper to taste
For the sauce, 400 ml passata or other tomato puree
3 cloves of garlic, finely minced
A handful of basil leaves, finely chopped
Sea salt and black pepper to taste
Olive oil for frying the eggplants and drizzling over the food
A handful of grated parmesan for topping the food for shaking

Preparation:
- Slice the eggplants lengthwise into 5 mm thick slices.
- Fry the eggplant slices in olive oil in a frying pan until almost soft.
- To prepare the filling, grate the parmesan, mix it with the ricotta, chop the parsley toast the nuts, and mix into the filling—season with black pepper and sea salt.
- Make the tomato sauce, heat the tomato puree in a pan with a little olive oil, finely chopped garlic, and finely chopped basil for about 10 minutes. Pour the sauce into a baking dish.
- Place 1 tablespoon of the filling in the middle of the eggplant slice and roll the eggplant around it. Place the finished rolls in the baking dish on the tomato sauce.
- Sprinkle the eggplant rolls lightly with grated parmesan.
- Bake the eggplant rolls at 200 degrees for 25-30 minutes until the cheese starts to brown slightly.
- Serve the eggplant rolls hot or cold. Garnish with a fresh herb sprig.
Ready!!
