Eggplant (Aubergine) and Ricotta Rolls image

Delicious and easy vegetarian recipe. I char-grill fresh sliced eggplant using my George Foreman grill, but you can buy it ready made from the deli. I also find it easier sometimes to omit the thyme leaves and lemon rind and use instead a bottled dried mix of lemon, basil and thyme from the supermarket.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my rolls didn't turn out very well. The eggplant was too tough and the ricotta filling was bland.

These rolls are a great way to use up leftover eggplant. I had some grilled eggplant in the fridge and these rolls were the perfect way to use it up.

I'm not a big fan of eggplant, but I really enjoyed these rolls. The ricotta filling is amazing and it really complements the eggplant.

These rolls are delicious! I love the combination of flavors and textures. The eggplant is perfectly tender and the ricotta filling is creamy and flavorful.

I love the idea of these rolls, but I'm not a fan of ricotta cheese. I think I'll try making them with a different type of cheese next time.

These rolls are a great idea, but I found them to be a bit too greasy. I think I'll try baking them next time instead of frying them.

I've tried this recipe several times and I can never get the eggplant to cook through. I've even tried baking it for longer, but it always comes out undercooked.

I'm not a big fan of eggplant, but these rolls were surprisingly good. The ricotta filling really balanced out the flavor of the eggplant.
