Mouthwatering Greek eggplant rolls with mozzarella and tomato filling, drizzled with bell pepper sauce - perfect for a chic vegetarian dinner party starter.
Ingredients:
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 0.5 onion, minced
  • 2 red bell peppers, chopped
  • 0.5 cup vegetable broth
  • 2 eggplant, sliced lengthwise into strips
  • 1 (6 ounce) package mozzarella cheese, cubed
  • 2 firm red tomatoes, finely cubed
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil, or to taste
Instructions:
  • In a skillet over high heat, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sauté onions until browned, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add bell peppers, reduce heat to low, and cook for another 5 minutes. Pour in vegetable broth and continue to cook and stir for 10 more minutes.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown eggplant slices until tender enough to roll easily but not too delicate.
  • Place the cooked red bell pepper mixture in a food processor and blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste and set aside.
  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Mix together the mozzarella cheese, fresh tomatoes, and fragrant basil in a bowl. Season with a sprinkle of salt and pepper, ensuring everything is well combined.
  • Place eggplant slices on parchment paper. Fill one end of each slice with a dollop of cheese mixture and roll up. Place rolls in a casserole dish, and continue with the rest of the eggplant and cheese mixture.
  • Place dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 10 minutes, or until the cheese is perfectly melted. Remove from oven and serve alongside a flavorful warm bell pepper sauce.
