Used up my eggplant!

I saw this recipe for Backed Eggplant Rolls on a friends Facebook page and realized I actually had everything I needed in the kitchen.  Looked and sounded yummy.  Turned out to be a little more labor intensive than I thought it would,  However, for once I made something that actually turned out just like the picture.
The Picture from the Recipe Not My Creation:)

The flavor was nice but you really have to like eggplant to enjoy more than two rolls at a time.  I had a little of the stuffing left over so I used my asian eggplant layering it in a casserole dish.  I also froze several small batches of 3-5 rolls.  I'll have to let you know if it freezes well.  Tasted a little better on day 2.

This appears to be almost gluten free accept for the two tablespoons of breadcrumbs which I think are probably to help hold the filling together.  If you are looking for really good gluten free breadcrumbs I recommend Aleia's Gluten Free breadcrumbs excellent taste and texture.  Noticed Aleia's products are available on Amazon.

Not a bad eggplant recipe but my favorite eggplant recipe is still Brighten Beach Eggplant.  I'll pull that recipe together for you next post.

  1. Wanted to let you know that this dish froze very well. I think it tasted better since the ingredients had a chance to meld. I suggest freezing it in small portions unless your family really enjoyed it.
