Vegan Eggplant Rollatini image

I adapted this dish from a vegan umami cooking class I took one night last year. Pretty purple eggplant rolled with vegan cashew cheese and pesto, and baked in tomato sauce--it's so incredibly tasty, and sure to please anyone. It's casual and elegant, healthy yet comforting.

Time 7h50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 ½ cups unsalted raw cashews
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons white miso
½ teaspoon raw sugar
salt to taste
3 cups roughly chopped basil leaves
⅓ cup roughly chopped raw walnuts
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
½ lemon, juiced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 large light purple eggplant, cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 ½ tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 cups marinara sauce

Steps:

  • Place cashews in a large bowl and cover with water; let soak for 7 hours. Drain.
  • Combine cashews, red wine vinegar, miso, sugar, and salt in a high-speed blender; blend until mixture is thick and creamy.
  • Combine basil leaves, walnuts, 1/4 cup olive oil, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, and garlic in a food processor; blend until pesto is smooth.
  • Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Toss eggplant with 1 1/2 tablespoon oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Arrange eggplant on the baking sheet.
  • Broil eggplant until browned, about 5 minutes per side. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Spread 3/4 cup marinara sauce in the bottom of a baking dish. Place 1 tablespoon cashew mixture and 1 tablespoon pesto on the end of an eggplant slice; roll up. Place seam-side down in the sauce. Repeat with remaining cashew mixture, pesto, and eggplant slices. Dot the eggplant with remaining marinara sauce. Cover dish with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until sauce is heated through, about 10 minutes.
