Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C).
2. Slice the eggplants lengthways as thinly as you can. Use a mandolin if it’s easier. You should have at least 15-16 slices. Scatter both sides with salt and set aside for 5-10 minutes.  Then pat them dry by pressing a paper towel on both sides.
3. In the meantime, heat the avocado oil in a large pan and cook the onions, diced bacon, and mushrooms until completely softened.  Then add the ground beef to the pan and sauté.  Make sure the beef is slightly browned. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Set aside.
4. Mix together the tomato sauce and honey.
5. Grease a small baking dish and pour in the tomato sauce.
6. Place a slice of eggplant on your work surface and spoon a small amount of the meat mixture onto one end of the slice.  Roll up the slice and place into the tomato sauce (see photo).
7. Repeat until all the slices are done.
8. Drizzle over a little avocado oil and bake for 20-25 minutes.
9. Garnish with chopped parsley.
