I veganized a Nigella Lawson classic! | Aubergine Involtini | Great for Summer

These aubergine vegan involtini were inspired by a classic Nigella Lawson recipe. I'm not a huge fan of aubergine (eggplant), but these little rolls really are terrific. They're wonderfully light, yet absolutely bursting with bright, summery flavours; perfect for munching with a beer or a glass of wine.

I had my involtini cold, but feel free to warm them in the oven/air fryer if you'd prefer. You could try pan frying them, but they will be somewhat delicate!

Although the aubergine vegan involtini are brilliant as is, I'll add a couple of sauces under "Mentioned Links" that you could serve with them; a rich and flavourful roast red pepper sauce, and a vibrant basil & lemon dressing.

Welcome to my kitchen (lab?)
My channel is you watching the results of my 2am thoughts of “I wonder what would happen if I put A with B?” The answers lean heavily towards cake, and my ongoing quest to find a good meat substitute. I’m a vegan that loves animal products, but hates what’s involved; so I’ve dived headfirst into a rabbit hole of different plant-based textures and flavours. These are often the 1st time that I’ve tried a recipe, and I’ll talk you through why I’m using the ingredients and what I think happened when things go wrong.
Grab a vessel of whatever makes you happy and enjoy, but be warned; it’s messy here sometimes!
