Ingredients
200 g eggplant
100 g Caciocavallo
10 g extra virgin olive oil
q.b. black pepper
100 g cooked ham
200 g Tomato Passata Sterilgarda
q.b. fine salt
q.b. parsley
Preparation
  1. To prepare the aubergine rolls, first wash and dry the aubergines, then remove the stem and cut them lengthwise with a mandolin to obtain 12 slices about 2 mm thick.
  2. If desired, you can pat the eggplant slices dry with paper towels to remove excess liquid.
  3. Place the aubergine slices on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake in a preheated fan oven at 170°C for 10 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a saucepan, add the Sterilgarda Tomato Puree; cook over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, then season with salt and pepper.
  5. Using a mandolin, cut the caciocavallo into slices, preferably the same thickness as the aubergine slices.
  6. Now you can assemble the rolls: place a slightly warmed eggplant slice on the cutting board, add a slice of cooked ham, and finish with a couple of slices of caciocavallo cheese. Then roll up each eggplant slice; continue until you've used up all the ingredients.
  7. Place the rolls in a baking dish with the seam facing down.
  8. After placing them all next to each other in the baking dish, sprinkle the rolls with the tomato sauce prepared previously.
  9. Finally, cut the remaining caciocavallo cheese with a knife and distribute it over the rolls.
  10. Cook them in a preheated static oven at 180° for 7 minutes, then turn on the grill at 240° and cook for another 3 minutes.
  11. The eggplant rolls are ready to be served, perhaps adding a little parsley.
