EGGPLANT ROLLATINI

Categories     appetizer

Time 2h20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

3 medium-sized eggplants (about 4 pounds total)
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Can vegetable spray
32 ounces ricotta cheese
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
8 tablespoons grated Parmesan
3 tablespoons toasted pine nuts
20 basil leaves, chiffonaded
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
2 cups fresh tomato sauce, recipe follows
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 (32-ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
2 dried bay leaves
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the grill pan and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Place a rack over a large baking sheet. Cut the 2 ends off the eggplant. Cut the eggplants lengthwise, into 1/2-inch thick slices. Arrange eggplant slices onto rack. Sprinkle with sea salt to help remove excess moisture and any bitterness from the eggplants. Set aside for about 10 to 15 minutes. Rinse off the salt from the eggplants and pat dry with a towel. Spray hot grill pan liberally with vegetable spray and then place eggplant slices on the grill until lightly browned on each side and tender, about 4 minutes per side. Remove slices from the grill pan and allow to cool.
  • In a large bowl, beat eggs until lightly scrambled. Mix the ricotta in with the egg. Add mozzarella, 3 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese and toasted pine nuts and gently combine. Fold in basil just to combine. Do not overmix.
  • Place a tablespoon of the cheese mixture on 1 end of the eggplant and roll up tightly. Place the eggplant rollatini into a greased (with olive oil) 13 by 9-inch baking dish, seam side down. Continue with remaining eggplant. Evenly distribute the tomato sauce on top of the eggplant rollatini. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with remaining 5 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese and bake for 15 minutes. When cooked, drizzle the top with extra-virgin olive oil.
  • In a large casserole pot, heat oil over medium high heat. Add onion and garlic and saute until soft and translucent, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add celery and carrots and season with salt and pepper. Saute until all the vegetables are soft, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add tomatoes and bay leaves and simmer uncovered on low heat for 1 hour or until thick. Remove bay leaves and check for seasoning. If sauce still tastes acidic, add unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon at a time to round out the flavors.
  • Add 1/2 the tomato sauce into the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth. Continue with remaining tomato sauce.
  • If not using all the sauce, allow it to cool completely and pour 1 to 2 cup portions into freezer plastic bags. This will freeze up to 6 months.

EGGPLANT ROLLATINI



Eggplant Rollatini image

Bundles of lightly fried eggplant slices are filled with ricotta and smothered in tomato sauce for a bubbly, cheesy Eggplant Rollatini.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dinner Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 whole eggplants, peeled and sliced lengthwise, about 1/4 inch thick, to get about 12 slices
2 cups fresh ricotta cheese
1- to 1 1/2- pound piece of fresh mozzarella (1/2 cup to be shredded, the rest will be sliced)
3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (plus extra for sprinkling)
1/2 pound sliced prosciutto or ham (optional)
1 egg white
2-3 cups prepared tomato sauce, homemade or store-bought
1 loaf Italian bread, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, fry eggplant slices in olive oil until eggplant is flexible for rolling, about 3 minutes per side. (Eggplant can also be roasted in the oven: Brush slices with olive oil and place on a baking sheet. Roast in 400-degree oven for 20 minutes, flipping eggplant halfway through cooking.)
  • While eggplant is frying/baking, make filling: In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of fresh ricotta, 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup of fresh shredded mozzarella, 1 egg white, salt and pepper, and mix well.
  • Drain eggplant on paper towel if fried. When eggplant has cooled about 10 minutes, begin the rolling process. On each slice, put about 2 tablespoons of ricotta cheese mixture. Spread it on the eggplant. Next, place a slice of ham/prosciutto on top of the cheese, if using, and then roll. Repeat with all eggplant slices.
  • Coat the bottom of a deep baking dish with tomato sauce. Start placing the rolled eggplants at the bottom of the pan. When pan is filled, put some sauce on the top of the eggplant. Sprinkle some more grated cheese on top. Finally, cut slices of fresh mozzarella cheese to place on top of each rollatini.
  • Bake in a 400-degree oven for about 20 minutes. (If the eggplant was baked, 30 minutes is better.) The cheese should be melted and a little bubbling should be going on. Serve.

This is a low fat version of a high fat classic. When selecting your eggplant for this recipe, chose long eggplants to accomodate the rolling. Simple & delicious. Also, for those of you who enjoy OMAC, this recipe can be added to your list. It was inspired by a recipe I wrote down from a PBS cooking show, that I altered a bit.

Provided by BonnieZ

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h30m

Yield 16 rolls, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 large globe eggplants
1 cup plain fat-free yogurt
2 cups seasoned bread crumbs or 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 teaspoons oregano
2 teaspoons mrs. dash original seasoning
1 (15 ounce) carton fat-free ricotta cheese
1/2 cup fat free mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 cup water
1/2 cup red wine
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon fennel seed, crushed
1/2 cup reduced-fat mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • First make the sauce, in a large deep saute pan, over medium heat add the crushed tomatoes, water& red wine.
  • Bring to a boil and then add the garlic, oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, sugar& fennel seeds, then reduce the temperature to a simmer.
  • Simmer covered for 30-40 minutes until the sauce is reduced and thickened.
  • Meanwhile, make the filling by combining in a medium bowl the ricotta, 1/2 cup fat free mozzarella, the parmesan, 1/8 tsp of black pepper& the parsley, stirring well to combine, then set aside.
  • Slice each eggplant into*thinly* (1/8-1/4 inch thick) slices lengthwise.
  • Try to achieve about 8 thin slices per eggplant, discarding the first and last slice.
  • In a shallow pie plate, combine the breadcrumbs (or panko) and the 1/4 tsp pepper, oregano and Mrs Dash, then set aside.
  • Brush both sides of each eggplant slice with the yogurt, then dredge in the breadcrumb mixture.
  • Place on a baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray and broil for 2 minutes, then turn over and broil the other side an additional 2 minutes, then set aside to cool.
  • You will most likely need 3 baking sheets in total, and you want to broil each sheet seperately to ensure even browning of the eggplant.
  • Once the eggplant slices are cool, place a tablespoon of the ricotta mixture on one end of each slice and roll up to cover the filling.
  • In a 13x9 pan, spoon enough sauce to coat the bottom of the pan.
  • Layer the eggplant rolls seam side down over the sauce.
  • Ladle the remaining sauce over the eggplant rolls and top with 1/2 cup of reduce fat, part skim mozzarella cheese and 2 tbsp of parmesan.
  • Bake in a 350F oven for 30-45 minutes.
  • For OMAC, make the sauce, then freeze it, then proceed with step# 5 and through step 11.
  • Once you have made the rolls freeze them individually on a baking sheet.
  • Once frozen remove from the baking sheet and store in freezer bags.
  • When ready to proceed with the recipe, thaw the sauce, but DONOT thaw the rolls.
  • Place the frozen rolls over the sauce as is in step 12, add the topping, then bake at 350 for 1 hour.

VEGAN EGGPLANT ROLLATINI



Vegan Eggplant Rollatini image

With some great ingredient inspiration from the Raiders of the Lost Pantry contest, I came up with this idea. You won't even miss the meat. Try it, you may be surprised.

Provided by Sharon123

Categories     European

Time 1h20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 large eggplants, sliced lengthwise into 1/4 inch thick slices
olive oil (to brush over eggplant)
1 (16 ounce) package firm tofu, pressed for 10 min to get out most of water
0.5 (10 ounce) package frozen spinach, drained thoroughly
1/3 cup nutritional yeast
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2-1 teaspoon garlic, minced or 1/2-1 teaspoon garlic powder, to taste
1/4 cup green olives, sliced, drained, chopped
black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 garlic clove
1 (28 ounce) can diced fire-roasted tomatoes
2 tablespoons tomato paste (I used ketchup)
1 -2 teaspoon honey, to taste
1/2 limes, juice of or 1 teaspoon lime juice
fresh basil, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Place eggplant slices onto baking sheets and sprinkle well with sea salt or kosher salt. Let sit for 30 minutes; this will decrease the bitterness and removes excess moisture.
  • Pat the slices dry, and spray them or brush them lightly with olive oil.
  • Make the tomato sauce:.
  • Heat the olive oil in a saucepan and saute the garlic till fragrant. Add the diced tomatoes, paste, honey, lime juice, and heat thoroughly. Toss in basil at the end, and remove from heat.
  • Heat oven to 400 degrees Farenheit. Roast eggplant till browning (about 20-30 min) flipping slices halfway through.
  • While eggplant cooks, place the tofu in a bowl and crumble it with your hands. Add the nutritional yeast, salt, pepper, garlic, basil, oregano, and spinach. Add in chopped olives. Mix it well with your hands, crumbling through fingers till it resembles a bowl of ricotta cheese.
  • When eggplant is done cooking and cooled some, transfer slices to a cutting board and add about 3 tbsp of the ricotta mixture to the end of one side. Roll up from that side, and place seam down in a baking dish until you've finished rolling up all of the slices.
  • Reduce oven to 350 degrees. Cover the eggplant rolls with the tomato sauce, and bake, uncovered, for about 20-25 minutes, or until hot. Serve and enjoy!

EGGPLANT ROLLATINI



Eggplant Rollatini image

This hearty eggplant dinner is filled with great Italian flavor. It takes a few minutes to fry the slices of eggplant, but once that's done it's easy to assemble. We love the mix of cheese in the filling. Seasoned perfectly with oregano, garlic, and black pepper once baked it is nice and creamy. Prepare this Italian dinner next...

Tips:

  • Select eggplants that are firm and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid eggplants that are soft or have brown spots.
  • To prevent the eggplant from absorbing too much oil, slice it thinly and cook it over medium heat.
  • If you are using a store-bought tomato sauce, be sure to taste it and adjust the seasonings to your liking.
