ingredients
400 g CIRIO Polpa
1/2 white onion
2 garlic cloves
120 g Long aubergines (4 slices)
100 g Mozzarella cheese
15 g Pitted Taggiasca olives
4 Basil leaves
60 ml extra virgin olive oil
Salt
Black pepper
Preparation
Start to prepare the sauce
- Fry the finely chopped onion and the whole garlic cloves with olive oil in a saucepan, once golden take the garlic out and pour the tomato pulp. Add salt and pepper to taste and cook for about 15 minutes on low heat.
- While the tomato sauce is cooking, wash the aubergine and cut it into slices about 1 cm thick with the help of a mandolin: you have to make 4 long slices of uniform thickness and grill the aubergine slices on both sides, then transfer them to a plate or a cutting board.
- When the tomato sauce is ready, chop the mozzarella and preheat the oven to 180 ° in static mode.
Now you are ready to assemble the rolls
- Spread a layer of tomato over the surface of the aubergines, add a little frayed mozzarella, a teaspoon of olives and a basil leaf.
- Roll the aubergine so stuffed and lay them in a small baking dish with the closure facing downwards.
- Finally cover the rolls with a little tomato sauce and a few pieces of mozzarella.
- The rolls are now ready to be baked: cook them in the static preheated oven at 180 ° for about 10 minutes, just long enough to melt the cheese.
Once baked, your Mediterranean aubergine rolls are ready to be enjoyed!
