Summer BBQ Aubergine Rolls with Red Pesto

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 4 Aubergines
  • Oil for griddling
  • Salt and pepper
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Filling:
  • 2 red peppers
  • 6 spears of asparagus
  • 3 carrots cut into strips
  • 250 g buffalo mozzarella
  • Pesto:
  • Bunch of basil leaves
  • 1 tbsp pine nuts
  • 125 g pecorino grated
  • 175 ml virgin olive oil
  • 12 sun blushed tomatoes
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 50 ml double cream

Instructions

  • Cut the top and bottom off the aubergines and slice lengthways about the width of a pound coin
  • Season well and brush each side with olive oil. Let them sit for approx. 5 mins then griddle on a very hot barbecue griddle pan until charred on each side
  • For the filling, simply blanch the vegetables in batches (eg peppers, then asparagus etc) and drain on kitchen paper
  • For the pesto – in a food processor, blend the nuts, garlic, sun blushed tomatoes, then add the basil, cheese and oil. Check for any seasoning, then add the cream
  • To serve – lay out the slices of aubergine, then place a little pile of the vegetables and mozzarella at the end of a slice and roll up. Secure with a cocktail stick, drizzle with a little more oil and just warm through on the barbecue
  • Use two or three rolls per serving, squeeze over some lemon juice and top with the creamy red pesto. This can be cold or warmed gently in a pan.

Notes

Best eaten immediately, so if picnicking, take that portable BBQ with you or entertain in your garden…

This is a lovely summer time recipe for the BBQ.
