I love simple recipes that make use of in-season fresh produce. This easy eggplant recipe is exactly that. Stuffing the eggplant with an easy, flavorful cheese mixture ensures even the fussiest of eaters will love this dish. It’s also another way to use up the many, many batches of tomato sauce I have after trying to preserve perfect summer-ripe tomatoes.
What is involtini?
Involtini is the Italian word for “rolls” and is a recipe consisting of a wrapper of sorts rolled around a filling. You can make involtini out of vegetables (like this eggplant/aubergine version), fish or meat. Involtini and Rollatini are pretty much the exact same recipe, the eggplant is just often breaded in rollatini.
Ingredients
Eggplant / Aubergine. Ricotta. Cream cheese. Herbs. Basil, Parsley. Onion. Garlic. Red chilli. Italian herbs. Chopped tomatoes. I often use canned cherry tomatoes too. Mozzarella.
