Eggplant and Zucchini Rollatini

[lunchman]

Yet another "using the Goldens' as an oven" and the "Blackstone as a fry pan" cook. It wasn't particularly hot today, but I didn't feel like using the oven.

On the menu for dinner today - Eggplant! I wasn't in the mood for the usual eggplant parm and thinking I didn't have enough I headed to the store and came back with Zucchini. Why? These are being turned into Rollatini which I haven't made in quite some time and using Zucchini sounded pretty good.

Thin slices for both the Eggplant and Zucchini -

A quick fry on the Blackstone for a few minutes to get them pliable -

A Tomato Sauce with leftover Taco ground beef was simmering on the stove. I mixed together Ricotta, Mozzarella, Egg and Parsley for the filling. I saved enough shredded Mozzarella for the topping.

They're cool enough to start rolling -

In the pan and sauced -

And out onto the Goldens' they go -

Mozzarella gets added a bit later -

And dinner is ready to be served with a side salad and garlic bread -

These turned out excellent and the Zucchini version was just as good as the Eggplant Rollatini. They're easy to make and not easy to stop eating. :biggrin1:

Highly recommended!

Thanks for checking in on tonight's Eggplant and Zucchini Rollatini dinner!

I'm in for some of the zuchini but hold the egg plant please. I don't know what it is but I just can't do egg plant.

I had to open this one just to find out what a Rollatini is...

Looks amazing.

so the gr beef is in the sauce, not the filling correct? I'm gonna try this, with a some zuch from the garden. I'm thinking italian sausage for the gr beef, only change. Sound about right?

That looks like a winner to me!

Correct, Tom. It's just a meat sauce. We had leftover frozen Taco filling and I added it to the tomato sauce. Totally optional and a plain tomato sauce would work fine.

Sausage sounds like a great substitution.

Finally, something of yours I won't be running out to get ingredients for!

Looks good to me. Of course, I'd like about four times the sauce. I've got both eggplant and zucchini growing. Eggplants are forming fruits but seems too hot for the squash to set any fruits. Tomatoes ares struggling as well.

I'm nodding my head reading this - sounds delicious. I thought about a slice of prosciutto inside each roll, mimicking braciola, but that might throw the flavor off.
It looks delicious!

This is perfect for when zucchini comes out of the garden in droves.
