Ingredients for Eggplant Rolls
- 3 large eggplants
- coarse salt
- flour as needed
For frying:
- canola oil as needed
For the filling:
- 10½ ounces (300 grams) ground walnuts
- 4-5 garlic cloves crushed
- ½ chili peppers chopped (or to taste)
- 1 red onion chopped
- Pinch of hot paprika
- Pinch of turmeric
- ¼ bunch cilantro chopped
- 1 tablespoon dill leaves chopped
- 1 tablespoon basil leaves chopped
- 1 tablespoon mint leaves chopped
- ¼ cup (60ml) white wine vinegar (or to taste)
- Seeds from ½ pomegranate
- Salt to taste
Instructions
-
1. Slice the eggplants lengthwise into 0.2-inches/ 5mm slices. Sprinkle the coarse salt over them and place them in a colander for 30 minutes. Rinse and dry.
-
2. Heat the oil in a skillet. Flour the eggplant slices and fry them on both sides until golden brown. Transfer to a plate lined with towel paper.
-
3. Mix all the ingredients together until they form a spreadable paste, similar in texture to hummus. If the paste is too thick, dilute it with a little water. Spread the filling on the fried eggplant slices and roll them into rolls. To allow the flavors to meld, refrigerate the rolls for an hour before serving.
