How to cook eggplant rolls deliciously and quickly

1. In order to prepare eggplant rolls with curd cheese, herbs and garlic, you first need to cut and fry the eggplants, taking into account all the recommendations that I outlined in the previous section. In the end, from two medium-sized eggplants I got only 16 strips for wrapping the spicy curd filling.

2. To make a delicious and original creamy curd cheese filling, we need walnuts, which must be crushed to crumbs in any way you are used to. In this case, I prefer to use a small chopper from a blender, since it copes with such work very quickly and the nuts are of the same small caliber.

Advice! When buying walnuts in a store, be sure to pay attention to the date of production and try to choose the freshest nuts possible, otherwise you risk running into a product with a rancid smell and taste. If you buy nuts by weight at the market or find some old supplies in your cupboard, be sure to check that they do not have an unpleasant odor, as well as a thin cobweb between the kernels, since walnuts go rancid quite quickly, and in addition, are a favorite treat for food moths.

3. Wash, dry and chop fresh dill as finely as possible using a sharp knife.

4. Place the curd cheese in a container and mash it a little with a fork, then add chopped dill, pressed garlic, salt, ground pepper and walnuts, setting aside about a quarter of the nuts for the final decoration of the rolls. Mix all ingredients thoroughly and the filling of curd cheese with garlic and walnuts for eggplant rolls is ready.

5. To stuff fried eggplant with cream cheese filling, you don't need any special tricks or special equipment. To do this, place a generous portion of filling on one edge of an eggplant slice, then carefully roll the eggplant with your hands to form a short, thick tube. If the eggplant breaks or crumbles during the rolling process, it means that you dried it out during frying, and there are two possible reasons for this - either it was cut too thin, or it was cooked with insufficient vegetable oil. Properly cooked eggplants are extremely flexible, so they roll easily and hold their shape perfectly without the need for securing with skewers or toothpicks. The finished rolls should be laid out beautifully on a serving dish and lightly sprinkled with the remaining nut crumbs on top, after which they can be served immediately, since they do not require standing or cooling.

Eggplant rolls with curd cheese, garlic, herbs and nuts are quite easy and quick to prepare, making them an excellent hearty appetizer for a holiday, a regular weekday snack, or an informal meeting of friends. They turn out to be unusually soft and tender, so without any extra effort they seem to melt in your mouth, and their spicy, refined taste gives pleasure, stimulates the appetite and prepares the body to accept other more substantial dishes. Try it and you won't regret it!
