Now, in the period of abundance of fresh vegetables and fruits, we all strive to stock up on vitamins for the winter. Do you know which of the fruits in the East is called the "vegetable of longevity"? This is an eggplant. It contains a large amount of vitamin B, as well as s alts of potassium, phosphorus, iron and carotene. Therefore, eggplant dishes are recommended for use in cardiovascular diseases, diseases of the liver and kidneys. And this vegetable is an excellent fat burner.

A lot of different dishes are prepared from eggplant. It is fried, baked, boiled and even eaten raw. Everyone is familiar with such a dish as "overseas caviar, eggplant." But let's be original and make an eggplant roll. The article describes three simple and very successful recipes. And the first (by the way, the simplest) will be an eggplant roll with a tomato. For him we need:

- eggplant - 1 piece of medium size;

- mayonnaise - 1-2 tablespoons;

- tomato - 2 pieces of medium size;

- table s alt;

- vegetable oil for frying;

- garlic - 1 clove.

Cut the eggplant lengthwise into long thin "tongues". Put in a bowl and season. Let stand for 10-15 minutes and then rinse with cold water. This is necessary to get rid of the excess bitterness that eggplant contains. Dry the washed slices with a napkin and fry until a confident golden hue on both sides in vegetable oil. Put the fried pieces on napkins so that excess oil is glassed (eggplant absorbs it well). We begin to collect the eggplant roll. To do this, squeeze a clove of garlic into mayonnaise and mix. Lubricate each slice with the resulting sauce. Cut the tomatoes into circles. Place a tomato on each slice and roll tightly. For structural strength, you can chip it with a toothpick. We keep the finished products in the refrigerator for an hour.

The second option would be eggplant rolls with cottage cheese and walnuts. To prepare this dish, fry the eggplants as in the first case. In addition, we need:

- unsweetened cottage cheese - 60 grams;

- walnuts - a small handful;

- s alt and pepper to taste;

- sour cream - 2 tablespoons;

- garlic - 1 clove.

In a blender, beat cottage cheese, nuts, sour cream and garlic. S alt and pepper to taste. With the resulting mixture, spread slices of fried eggplant and roll them into rolls. Everything is very simple and delicious.

And the third version of the recipe will be eggplant rolls in the oven. As in the firsttwo cases, fry the eggplant. Next, take:

- tomato - 2 pieces;

- green onion - 1/4 bunch;

- grated cheese - 50 grams.

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Cut the tomatoes into circles and chop the green onions. Line a baking sheet with baking paper and grease with vegetable oil. For each slice of fried vegetables, put a slice of tomato, a pinch of green onions and sprinkle with grated cheese. We roll up our eggplant roll and put it on a baking sheet. For beauty, you can tie each piece with a green onion feather. Bake for 10 minutes and serve.

As you can see, the same eggplant dish can be varied and interesting. Enjoy your meal!
