Pesto Eggplant Rolls
Ingredients
- 2 medium organic eggplants
- 2 Tbsp organic extra virgin olive oil
- ½ cup organic feta cheese
- ¾ cup pesto (try Green Garlic Pesto, Asparagus Pesto or Garlic Scape Pesto)
- 2 Tsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat outdoor grill to high heat (if indoors, a stovetop grill pan will work).
- Cut the eggplants lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices and brush each slice evenly with olive oil on both sides.
- Grill the eggplant slices in batches until softened, about 3 minutes each side. Remove from grill to paper towel and allow to cool slightly.
- In a small bowl, mix the pesto and lemon juice together.
- Spread a heaped tablespoon of the mixture evenly over each eggplant slice and top with a sprinkle of feta.
- Carefully roll up the eggplant slices and skewer with a toothpick. Place each roll on a plate seam-side down and brush with a little olive oil (if desired).
- Serve immediately.
