Eggplant Rolls are a delicious and quick-to-prepare dish that can be served with rice or a side salad. This recipe features eggplants filled with flavorful minced meat, creating a mouthwatering and satisfying meal. Here’s how to make this delightful dish with easy-to-follow steps.

Ingredients:

Eggplant Rolls

  • 2 medium-sized eggplants
  • 500 grams minced meat
  • 1 teaspoon onion seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 teaspoon pomegranate molasses
  • A pinch of oregano
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1½ cups water
  • 1 teaspoon flour
  • 1 bell pepper

Preparation Steps:

  1. Prepare the Eggplant: Wash and dry the eggplants thoroughly, then cut them into long slices.

  2. Fry the Eggplant: Heat a suitable amount of oil in a pan and fry the eggplant slices until they turn golden on one side, then flip and fry the other side. Place the fried eggplants on paper towels to drain excess oil.

  3. Prepare the Meat Filling: In a bowl, mix the minced meat with salt, paprika, onion seasoning, flour, and any preferred spices for meat. Knead the mixture well until it is ready to be shaped.

  4. Shape the Meat: Take small portions of the meat mixture and shape them into small finger-like pieces.

  5. Cook the Meat: In the same pan used for frying the eggplant, fry the meat pieces until they are cooked through on all sides.

  6. Assemble the Rolls: Place each meat piece inside an eggplant slice and roll it up tightly.

  7. Arrange in the Baking Dish: Arrange the eggplant rolls in a baking dish, placing circular slices of bell pepper between the rolls.

  8. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the tomato paste with minced garlic, pomegranate molasses, oregano, and salt. Add water to create a smooth sauce.

  9. Bake: Pour the sauce over the eggplant rolls in the baking dish. Bake in a preheated oven at 190°C (374°F) until the rolls are cooked through and have absorbed the sauce.

Your Eggplant Rolls are now ready to serve! Enjoy this delicious dish with family and friends. Bon Appétit!
