Aubergine Roll

This is a delightful refreshing starter. You will need

- 1 Aubergine
- Crescenza cheese
- rucola lettuce

Stracchino is a fresh Italian cheese which I have not found, unfortunately, outside this country. I suggest that in absence of it you use a soft goat cheese or a simple cream cheese. The result will change but it will be as satisfactory.

1. La' . Cut the aubergine in thin slices about 5/6 mm thick. For this recipe you need to grill the aubergine, you can either do it directly on the grill or in absence of an open fire you can heat up a pan that you have lightly oiled and cook the aubergine on each side, for about 3/4 minutes till the slices have softened and are roasted.

2. La'. When you have grilled all the silces, place a teaspoon roll of stracchino cheese in the middle of each. Roll the slice on itself and secure it by pinning it with a thootpick. Garnish the rolls with rucola or any other aromatic lettuce which you like.

3. La' .enjoy the delight!

The rolls can be accompanied by some fresh bread rolls or some grissini or simple water crackers, they are great accompanied by some dry red wine, possibly Sicilian.
