Frequently Asked Questions About Walnut-Stuffed Eggplant Roll
What is a Walnut-Stuffed Eggplant Roll?

How do you make Walnut-Stuffed Eggplant Rolls?
To make Walnut-Stuffed Eggplant Rolls, soften thin eggplant slices, spread them with a walnut filling, and roll them up. The slices can be grilled, baked, or fried; let them cool enough to handle before adding the filling.
Can you bake Walnut-Stuffed Eggplant Rolls instead of frying them?

What goes in the filling for Walnut-Stuffed Eggplant Rolls?
The filling for Walnut-Stuffed Eggplant Rolls usually combines chopped or ground walnuts with garlic and herbs. Some versions add lemon juice, olive oil, or spices, but keep the mixture cohesive rather than wet so it stays inside the rolls.
How do you keep Walnut-Stuffed Eggplant Rolls from unrolling?

Should you peel the eggplant for Walnut-Stuffed Eggplant Rolls?

Why are my Walnut-Stuffed Eggplant Rolls bitter?
Walnut-Stuffed Eggplant Rolls can taste bitter if the eggplant is old or the walnuts are rancid. Choose firm, fresh eggplant and taste the walnuts before using them; a rancid walnut has a sharp, unpleasant flavor and should be discarded.
What do you serve with Walnut-Stuffed Eggplant Rolls?

Can Walnut-Stuffed Eggplant Rolls be made ahead?
