Remember these grilled eggplant rolls, I posted a few weeks ago? Well, I really liked them and decided to make a second version with prosciutto, prunes and almond. Prune & Prosciutto Eggplant Rolls, guys! 

As a nice sweet finish, I added a delicious balsamic reduction to my Prune & Prosciutto Eggplant Rolls. It comes together in no time and really takes these eggplant rolls to the next level! Like, most showstopping appetizer ever!

As sophisticated as these eggplant roll-ups may sound, the recipe for Prune and Prosciutto Eggplant Rolls is actually really easy. Small effort, big effect!

Once you have the grilled eggplant slices ready, it literally takes 5 minutes to assemble the eggplant rolls. You can definitely grill them ahead and assemble them with prunes and prosciutto last minute- that's what I did.

My mum arrived in Sydney yesterday evening! She visiting us for three weeks and it had been almost a year since I last saw her so I couldn't be more excited!

I am pretty sure a plate of these Prune and Prosciutto Eggplant Rolls would be a great welcome snack. What do you think?

Calories 117 kcal

Ingredients

For the grilled eggplants

• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 medium eggplants
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• salt to taste

For the balsamic reduction

• ¾ cup balsamic vinegar

For the rolls

• 12 thin slices of prosciutto all visible fat removed
• 12 prunes
• 12 dry roasted almonds

Instructions

For the grilled eggplants:

1. Start by preparing the grilled eggplant slices. Cut eggplants lengthwise into thin slices. You should be able to get at least 6 slices out of each eggplant. 

2. Brush each side of the slices with olive oil. Heat a non-stick skillet on medium-high heat. When hot, spray with a little cooking spray and cook eggplant, slice by slice until cooked through and grilled. If you have a BBQ that would be even better! 

3. Let the slices cool down a bit and drizzle with lemon juice. Season with salt to taste.

For the Balsamic Reduction:

1. Pour balsamic vinegar into a small saucepan and heat up over medium heat.

2. Bring vinegar to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until vinegar has reduced by at least half. Remove from heat and set aside.

How to assemble:

1. Cut prosciutto slices in half and stuff prunes with almonds. Arrange an eggplant slice on a plate. 

   

2. Topp the eggplant with a couple of prosciutto slices

   

3. Then arrange stuffed prunes on top of the prosciutto. 

   

4. Start rolling up the eggplant, making sure to tuck those prunes in tightly.

   

5. And done!

   

6. Drizzle the aubergine rolls with balsamic reduction and serve.

Recipe Notes

If the eggplants rolls are very large, you can use two stuffed prunes (like I did on the pics).
