EGGPLANT ROLL-UPS

Steps:

• Heat a grill pan over high heat. Thinly slice the eggplant, a minimum of 18 slices. Season with salt, pepper and grill seasoning blend. Grill the thin slices to tenderize the eggplant, 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Combine the cheeses, black pepper and sun-dried tomatoes. Top each slice of cooked eggplant with a dab of cheese and some arugula and basil then roll up. The eggplant roll ups should have a few greens sticking out of both ends.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray the foil with cooking spray if desired, or lightly wipe it with an oil-dabbed paper towel. On an aluminum-foil lined baking sheet, arrange the eggplant in a single layer. Bake the eggplant for 20 minutes, so it will become flexible enough to roll.
• In a large pan over medium-high heat, dry- or water-saute the peppers, onion and carrots until just softened. Make a well in the vegetables and add the garlic in a pool of a tablespoon of water and cook the garlic in the water until the garlic becomes fragrant. (This helps so it doesn't burn.) Then mix everything together. Add the kale, arugula and Mrs. Dash and stir to combine. Saute all for another 3-5 minutes or until the greens are wilted.
• Add 2 cups of the marinara plus 2 tablespoons of the cheese and stir to combine.
• In an 8x8 inch baking dish (use a 9x9 inch dish if you used a large eggplant), pour some of the marinara sauce on the bottom of the pan. Dampen each side of a piece of the eggplant with the sauce, lay it down, add 2-3 tablespoons of the vegetable mixture on top and then roll the rest of the eggplant up to cover the veggie mixture. Repeat for all of the eggplant, tucking it all together side by side in the pan. Pour the remaining marinara over the eggplant rollups and top with the remaining cheese.
• Bake in the oven until warm, about 25 minutes. For an easy visual to this recipe, watch the video I've created. :)
