To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:
For the Eggplant Rolls:
- 2 large eggplants
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1/2 cup chopped parsley
- 1/2 cup chopped mint
- 1/2 cup chopped dill
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup olive oil

For the Herbed Yogurt Sauce:
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- 1/4 cup chopped mint
- 1/4 cup chopped dill
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. Cut the eggplants lengthwise into thin slices, about 1/4 inch thick. Brush each slice with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the eggplant slices on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until they are soft and pliable.
In a bowl, mix together the cooked rice, parsley, mint, dill, green onions, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Take a spoonful of the rice mixture and place it on one end of an eggplant slice. Roll up the eggplant slice around the rice mixture and place it seam-side down in a baking dish. Repeat with the remaining eggplant slices and rice mixture.
Bake the eggplant rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
While the eggplant rolls are baking, make the herbed yogurt sauce. In a bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, parsley, mint, dill, garlic, salt, and pepper.
To serve, place the eggplant rolls on a platter and drizzle the herbed yogurt sauce over the top. Garnish with additional herbs if desired.
This Eggplant Roll Tolma with Herbed Yogurt Sauce is a perfect appetizer or main dish for any occasion. The combination of the soft and tender eggplant with the flavorful rice and herbs is simply delicious. The creamy and tangy yogurt sauce adds the perfect finishing touch to this dish.
