Eggplant, Tomato, and Cheese Rolls
I had a bit of eggplant and tomato left over in the kitchen, so I put this simple appetizer thing together for dinner. Just wanted to try and mix some random ingredients together, but found that it outshone the boring main course by a million (more on the main-course later). I imagine a light squeeze of lime juice would do it some good, though.
Ingredients (Serves 2-3)
Ingredients (Serves 2-3)
- 1 small eggplant, thinly sliced length-ways
- 1 small tomato, thinly sliced
- 2 tbs feta cheese
- 2 tbs parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1/2 Thai red chili, minced (optional)
- 1/8 tsp paprika (optional)
- 1 tbs extra virgin olive oil
- Coat the eggplant slices very lightly with oil.
- Grill slices over low heat until tender and cooked through.
- Meanwhile, mash the feta and mix it together with parsley, basil, chili and paprika.
- To serve, wrap the eggplant around a slice of tomato and some of the feta mix. Secure with a toothpick and drizzle with the remaining olive oil.
