Description

These Feta-Stuffed Eggplant Rolls are a sophisticated yet simple vegetarian dish perfect for entertaining. The eggplant is broiled until tender and golden, then rolled with roasted red peppers, fresh arugula, and a zesty mixture of feta, ricotta, and mint. Topped with a bright salsa verde, these rolls offer a beautiful balance of creamy, herbaceous, and smoky flavors. They make an impressive first course or light main that looks as good as it tastes.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the broiler to high.
  2. Arrange the six center eggplant slices in a single layer on an oiled baking sheet.
  3. Brush the eggplant slices lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Broil the eggplant about 3 inches from the heat source until golden brown and tender, approximately 5 minutes.
  5. Carefully turn the eggplant slices using a metal spatula and broil for another 4 minutes until golden on the second side.
  6. Transfer the eggplant slices to a large platter to cool completely.
  7. In a small bowl, mash together the feta, ricotta, chopped mint, and a pinch of salt and pepper with a fork until combined.
  8. Arrange the roasted red pepper strips on top of the cooled eggplant slices, covering the surface evenly.
  9. Place 1 tablespoon of the cheese mixture near the narrow end of each eggplant slice.
  10. Gently press 4 to 5 arugula or spinach leaves into the cheese mixture so they extend slightly from both sides.
  11. Starting from the end with the cheese, carefully roll up each eggplant slice to enclose the filling.
  12. Serve the rolls immediately, drizzled generously with salsa verde.
