Eggplant Involtini 8 Servings 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the parchment 1 large eggplant, cut lengthwise into 8 slices 1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves or 1½ teaspoons dried 1 teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon pepper 8 tomatoes or 1 28-ounce can whole tomatoes almost drained of liquid, chopped 1 yellow onion, chopped 1 garlic clove, minced 8 slices prosciutto 8 slices part-skim mozzarella ¼ cup (1 ounce) grated parmigiano-reggiano Preheat the oven to 180°F. Oil a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place the eggplant slices on the pan and brush on both sides with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Sprinkle on the oregano, salt, and pepper. Bake for 10 minutes, turning once. They will then be supple. While the eggplant is in the oven, make a simple tomato sauce by whirring the tomatoes briefly in a food processor, add the garlic and sauté for a minute. Stir in the tomatoes and cook the mixture briefly, just to blend flavours, about 2 minutes. Remove the eggplant from the oven. Lower the oven temperature to 350°F. On each eggplant piece, place a slice of prosciutto and a slice of mozzarella. Roll the pieces from the small end forward, and secure the neat little bundle with a rosemary chive around it. Slather the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with some of the tomato sauce, and arrange the involtini seam side down. Over each bundle spread some more tomato sauce and a scattering of the Parmigiano. Warm well in the oven, about 15 minutes. Finito!
