Eggplant (Aubergine) and Ricotta Rolls image

Delicious and easy vegetarian recipe. I char-grill fresh sliced eggplant using my George Foreman grill, but you can buy it ready made from the deli. I also find it easier sometimes to omit the thyme leaves and lemon rind and use instead a bottled dried mix of lemon, basil and thyme from the supermarket.

I'm not a very experienced cook, but I was able to make these eggplant rolls with ease. They turned out great! The eggplant was perfectly cooked, and the sauce and ricotta cheese were delicious. I'll definitely be making these again.

This recipe was a complete disaster! The eggplant was undercooked, and the sauce was way too salty. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I'm not usually a huge fan of eggplant, but this recipe changed my mind! Seriously, these rolls are AMAZING. They're crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside. And the sauce is to die for.

Incredible dish! I made it for my family last night, and they raved about it. It's simple to make, but the flavors are out of this world.

This is a great recipe, but I had to make a few adjustments. I used regular ricotta cheese instead of the whipped ricotta, and I added a little bit of garlic powder to the sauce. It turned out delicious!
