Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground pork (or other meat)
  • 1 egg
  • 2 medium eggplants
  • 1 Tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 Tablespoon Italian seasoning, divided
  • 1/2 400g-can of tomato sauce or marinara sauce
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 F (200 C).
  2. Slice the eggplant into long thin slices.  Salt well and press paper towels on top to soak up excess water.  Leave for 10 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, combine the seasoning together in a small bowl (onion powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper).  
  4. Combine the egg and ground pork and 1/2 the seasoning in a separate bowl.
  5. Combine the tomato sauce with the rest of the seasoning.
  6. Spoon the pork mixture on top of the eggplant slices and roll up the slices (makes approximately 12 rollatini).
  7. Lay the rolls flat on a baking tray.  (Use a cocktail stick to secure the rolls in place, if needed)
  8. Bake for 30 minutes.  Use a meat thermometer and check the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145F.
  9. (If you want to add cheese to this dish, you can sprinkle a bit of mozzarella on top of the rollatini 10 min from the end of the baking time.)
  10. Heat up the sauce in a saucepan and pour over the rollatini.
