Eggplant and Goats Cheese Involtini


I am a huge believer in giving. 
We are so lucky to live in an amazing country where we have so much.


Recently I became aware of the Oxfam Australia campaign for
Just $50 "can provide a family with tools for home gardening so 
they can grow their own food and stop hunger."
Why not donate to this? I did.



As part of the campaign they have compiled a cookbook! You can download it here.
I immediately fell in love with this recipe for Eggplant and Goats Cheese Involtini, created by another food blogger Scoff and Quaff.


The peperonata sauce is firstly prepared from capsicums, garlic, onion and parsley, then simmered away with some tinned tomatoes.


The eggplants were sliced and cooked on the griddle pan both sides until soft but still intact.


The filling is a combination of goats curd, ricotta, baby spinach and sage.


Simply add some filling and roll.


Spoon over the peperonata sauce, sprinkle with some cheese and bake.


The result is a delicious meal. 
The goats cheese was perfectly balanced against the substantial eggplant and rich sauce.

Even served on a plate I bought from Oxfam!
Please do go check out the wonderful collection of recipes and consider supporting such a worthy cause.

  23. Involtini are a little fiddly and time consuming, like filling canneloni, but so warming and offer a tasty vegetarian option too!
