Aubergine cannelloni: the right recipe to amaze!
The ingredients
These are the necessary ingredients: 650 grams of minced meat (half veal, half pork); half a liter of béchamel; 400 grams of tomato pulp; a pound of grated Parmesan; two eggplants; two onions; one red pepper; a clove of garlic; enough of olive oil; just enough salt and pepper; enough of parsley.
The preparation
Peel the garlic and onion, cut them into thin slices and fry them in a pan with a drizzle of oil. Then add the diced pepper to the onions and let everything simmer for a few minutes. In the meantime, take the parsley, rinse it under the tap and then finely chop it with a knife.
At this point the mixed ground is poured into the pan and sprinkled with parsley. It is stirred from time to time with a wooden spoon. Then pour the tomato pulp into the pan and season with salt and pepper. The cooking must continue for about ten minutes: the sauce must be quite thick and generous in fat.
The eggplants
They are washed under running water and cut lengthwise into very thin slices, without removing the peel. They are cooked on both sides for a couple of minutes in a drizzle of oil. Then they are seasoned with salt and pepper and left to cool.
The cannelloni
Take a slice of aubergine, stuff it with the meat sauce, roll it up like a cannelloni and then place it on a previously oiled rectangular pan. It goes on like this until there is some.
Cooking
After distributing the béchamel and grated cheese evenly, it is cooked in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for half an hour. The cannelloni will be at the right point when the Parmesan has melted forming a delicious crust.
They should be served piping hot.
