Eggplant rolls

Here's what you need to do to make these beautiful eggplant rolls. Start by washing and cutting 2 eggplants lengthwise and then browning them in a pan with olive oil. Once they're cooked through, remove and let drain on a paper towel. In the meantime, saute 1/2 minced onion in a bit of oil, then add 1/4 pound of ground beef, salt, cumin and paprika. Take a spoonful of this filling and shape it into a little ball. Place the filling on the edge of an eggplant slice, then roll it up. Add some grated cheese and place in an ovenproof dish. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes at 350 °F.
