Grilled Eggplant Rollatini Recipe - 华体会体育推荐

Making double use of the grill, dish ofrollatinistarts with eggplant slices that are until tender and browned, then sees them returned to the grill as rollatini in a covered baking dish, just long enough for the cheese to melt and the marinara sauce to heat through.

Why this recipe works:

Eggplant slices that are 1/4 inch thick are sturdy enough to hold together on the grill yet thin enough to roll up once cooked.
Mixing provolone into the filling adds a nice sharpness that's balanced by the creamy and mellow ricotta.
Finishing the dish over an indirect fire makes great use of the remaining heat in the grill.
