Main Ingredients

3 long eggplants (aubergines)

200 g smoked bacon in slices, not too thin

a sprig of parsley, chopped up

a clove of garlic, chopped up

3 spoons of grated Pecorino cheese

extra-virgin olive oil

red pepper, powder

salt

It takes about thirty minutes to prepare the eggplants and then other thirty minutes to cook.

Preparation of Eggplants

Trim the eggplants (cut out the far edge) and slice them lengthwise, not too thin. Dust them with cooking marine salt and let them rest for about thirty minutes, in this way they will release their bitter liquid. After half an hour, rinse them and dry them.
In a pot mix the Pecorino cheese with finely chopped up garlic and parsley, a pinch of salt and a pinch (or more if you like) red pepper powder.

Assembly and Cooking

Grill the eggplant slices. Then, on each slice, overlap a slice of smoked bacon, smear some oil on top and dust with the mixture of grated Pecorino cheese, parsley and garlic and red pepper.

Now roll the lot and fix the rolls with a toothpick or twine. Finally, grill the rolls paying special attention to the bacon; the bacon doesn't have to burn but remain gilt and crispy.

Serve on a plate of green lattuce.
