Flavorful and satisfying, this vegetable spin on classic Italian braciole—stuffed rolls of thinly sliced beef or pork—relies on eggplant instead of meat, making it perfect for your meatless Monday or the vegetarians in your life. The key to success here is to be sure to cut the eggplant slices very thinly so that they are pliable for easy rolling around the creamy cauliflower rice. A mandoline is your friend here. This recipe is inspired by a recipe in VEDGE cookbook by Richard Landau & Kate Jacoby.
