  • Preheat a grill pan for the eggplants over medium-high heat.
  • Brush the eggplant slices with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook for 2 minutes on each side.
  • Heat a large skillet over high heat with 1/4 cup of oil. Once hot, add the meat, using a wooden spoon, break the meat into very small pieces. Cook until the meat is well-cooked and browned.
  • While the meat is cooking, toast the bread and cut it into very small slices, set aside.

  • Add the chopped rosemary and season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the toasted bread and 1 cup of beef broth.
  • Divide the mushroom and meat mixture among the eggplant slices. Roll each one starting from the smallest side. Repeat with the other 8 slices.
  • In a medium skillet, melt the other 3 tablespoons of butter. Add the flour and cook for 2-3 minutes. Then add the tomato paste and cook for another minute.
  • Add the beef broth to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes until it thickens.
  • Season with salt and pepper and serve over the eggplant rolls.
