Valeria's advice
My three-year old daughter liked these rolls very much served with the Thermomix Mashed Potatoes.
Katia's advice
Katia De Girolamo, an Italian fan of the Italian version of this website suggests: "Cook the aubergine slices in the Varoma tray for about 10 minutes. They will become softer and easier to roll up; if uncooked they tend to break".
Mariateresa's advice for lactose intolerant people
Add an aubergine cut into cubes and cooked for 10 Min with a bit of oil. Mix it and add it to the ground meat. It makes the aubergine filling creamier and tastier if you can't add the parmesan cheese.
