Ingredients:

  • 2 large eggplants
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • ¼ cup fresh basil leaves, chopped

Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2: Cut off the ends of the eggplants and slice them lengthwise into thin strips. Sprinkle some salt over the slices and let them sit for about 15 minutes to help draw out any bitter flavors. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 3: In a bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

Step 4: Take each eggplant slice and carefully spread a thin layer of the breadcrumb mixture on one side. Roll up the slice and secure it with a toothpick. Repeat this process for all the eggplant slices.

Step 5: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the eggplant rolls in the skillet, seam side down, and cook them until they become golden brown on all sides. This should take about 2-3 minutes per side.

Step 6: Once the rolls are nicely browned, transfer them to a baking dish. Pour the marinara sauce over the rolls and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top.

Step 7: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes or until the cheese has melted and started to turn golden brown.

Step 8: Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool to room temperature.

Step 9: Once cooled, place the stuffed eggplant rolls carefully into a jar and cover them completely with olive oil. Make sure all the rolls are fully submerged.

Step 10: Add the chopped fresh basil leaves to the jar. Place a lid on the jar and store it in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours before consuming. The longer you let them marinate, the more flavorful they will become!

There you have it – a simple yet delectable recipe for stuffed eggplant rolls preserved in oil. These flavorful rolls can be enjoyed as an appetizer, added to salads, or even served as a side dish. With just a few basic ingredients and some patience, you can create a delightful Mediterranean treat that will leave your taste buds wanting more!
