Eggplant Involtini

It's Sunday, my day to make a recipe that takes all day.
Why not make an eggplant dish? My favorite of all foods in the universe.
You know how much I hate breading and frying eggplant. What a miserable, messy chore. So I will compromise, I won't bread it, just slice it and fry it. I'm half way there. .

I tried Mario Batali's recipe for eggplant involtini. Involtini de Melanzane.
Involtini is anything rolled up with a filling.
It is like my eggplant rollatini, but Mario doesn't use breadcrumbs or mozzarella cheese on top. Why not? I don't know.


I put fresh mozzarella and pesto dabs on top before heating up.
It was very good, but would I make it again? I don't think so. My fried & breaded eggplant slices are better than using someone else's recipe for something so simple.

We have been enjoying white wines from Sicily lately. I am normally a red drinker, but these whites are special if you can find them. This house, Donna Fugata is excellent, about $15. a bottle, paired very well with the eggplant dish.

Your eggplant with the fresh mozzarella and pesto looks excellent.

You are quickly becoming my favorite New Yorker, well you and Jon Stewart... This meals looks fantastic and I love the label on that wine bottle.
