Eggplants

~ Add the basil and mix. Allow 1-2 minutes for it to reduce in volume⁠
~ Transfer into a bowl. Add Dill Chevre, chia ‘egg’, salt/miso and pepper to taste. Mix well, especially if you use Miso⁠
~ Place the eggplant slices onto a clean flat surface. Add 1 tbsp of the filling at the centre of each slice, and roll⁠
~ Spread half of of the tomato sauce into a baking dish⁠
~ Place the rolls seam side down. Pour over remaining sauce and sprinkle the mozzarella on top⁠
