Author Notes
This is a vegan take on an often cheese-stuffed dish. If vegan cheese scares you (I would only use Follow Your Heart, Daiya, or Cheezly), you can also stuff these with blended cashew nuts, crumbled extra-firm tofu, mashed beans, or just loads of veggies. Really, the variations are endless, but this particular recipe is rather delicious. —HaikuTofu
Ingredients
-
1
large eggplant
-
Salt
-
3/4 cup
any white vegan cheese, shredded
-
1/3 cup
red onion, sliced thinly
-
1 1/2 cups
baby spinach, chopped
-
10-15
kalamata olives, chopped
-
6
marinated artichoke hearts, chopped
-
6
oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
-
Olive Oil Mister, if you have one
Directions
-
Slice the eggplant lengthwise into 10 steaks. Throw away the first and last slices as they will have too much skin to be tender.
-
Salt the eggplant steaks and let them sit for 20 minutes. Rinse, then pat dry with a towel.
-
Lay the eggplant on a foil-lined baking sheet, mist with olive oil, and broil for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking time. The eggplant should be tender and slightly browned.
-
Take an eggplant steak and layer 2/3 of it with spinach, onion, cheese, olives, artichoke, and sun-dried tomato. Roll it up (starting at the stuffed end and rolling towards the 1/3 without filling) and place it seam-side down on the baking sheet. Repeat with the other steaks.
-
Broil for another 5-10 minutes. Serve drizzled with a bit of olive oil.
