Rolinhos de Beringela are eggplant rolls with soft cheese, walnuts and cilantro. We use the famous Portuguese requeijão in this recipe – a fresh, not salted, ricotta-like cheese with a delicate flavour.
Ingredients for 3-4 servings:
- 1 medium eggplant
- 3-4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 100 gr Portuguese requeijão cheese (you can replace requeijão with ricotta)
- 1/2 cup walnuts for the filling + 1 tablespoon walnuts for the garnish
- 1 small garlic clove, grated or crushed
- 2-3 fresh sprigs of cilantro (coriander) leaves
