There’s two ways you could really enjoy these! The first is to keep them vegetarian as the main event with a side of healthy, slow release carbs such as quinoa or couscous and a leafy green salad on the side.

Cooking With Aubergines

Aubergines are a a slightly tricky vegetable to cook with, especially if you are baking or roasting them, because they have a very high liquid content. To overcome this you have to salt the aubergines! This essentially means that once you slice the aubergines you sprinkle them with salt and let them rest for about 20 minutes. This time allows the water to be drawn out by the salt, so you can pat it off with a clean paper towel, and this gives you a much crisper bake…after all no one likes soggy aubergine!

Ingredients

    For The Rolls

  • 75g Philadelphia Lightest
  • 30g Grated Parmesan
  • Handful Chopped Basil
  • Salt
  • Pepper (to taste)
  • For The Sauce
  • Aprox 20-25 Cherry Tomatoes
  • 1x Tinned Chopped Tomatoes
  • 200mls Vegetable Stock

  • 1x Onion (diced)
  • 2x Cloves Garlic (finely chopped/minced)
  • Handful Chopped Basil
  • Salt & Pepper (to taste)
  • Fry Light

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
  2. Slice the aubergine length-ways into 8 slices, about half a centimetre thick each.
  3. Sprinkle the aubergine slices with salt on both sides and lay them on a large baking tray. Leave them for 20 minutes and then pat the excess water off with a clean paper towel.
  4. Season with pepper and bake for 15 minutes or until they've started to crisp up. Allow to cool before handling.
  5. Meanwhile, add the diced onion and garlic to a medium sized sauce pan and fry until softened.
  6. Add the cherry tomatoes and stir until they begin to break down.
  7. Add the tinned tomato, basil and the vegetable stock and reduce the heat. Stir regularly until the sauce has begun to thicken.
  8. Add the tomato puree and stir through until the sauce is rich and thick. Season with salt and pepper.
  9. In a separate bowl mix the two cheeses together with basil and a crack of pepper. Mix together.
  10. Once the aubergine slices have cooled, fill each one with a tablespoon of cheese mixture and roll up.
  11. Add a couple of tablespoons of tomato sauce to the bottom of your baking tray and add the aubergine rolls. Pour in the rest of the sauce around the rolls (not over the top of them). You may have a bit of sauce left over depending on the size and depth of your baking tray.
  12. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and spray with Fry Light.
  13. Bake for a further 15 minutes until they begin to go nice and crispy on top.
  14. Serve hot or cold as the main event or a a side dish! Serves two.
