| 1. Fry eggplant in olive oil until dark brown. | 2. Drain on lots of paper toweling. | 3. In a large, non-stick saucepan, brown the ground beef. | 4. Add the onion, garlic, crushed tomatoes, spearmint, sugar, cinnamon, cloves and salt and pepper to taste. | 5. Cook until mixture is very dry. | 6. Lay out 1 sheet of puff pastry. | 7. Put 1 layer of eggplant on pastry, leaving a 1 inch border all around. | 8. Sprinkle very lightly with salt. | 9. Layer ground beef mixture, ham and cheese over eggplant. | 10. Starting at one long end, roll up, jelly-roll style, tucking in ends. | 11. Brush with half of butter. | 12. Preheat oven to 390 degrees F. | 13. Place rack on lower third of oven. | 14. Repeat with second pastry sheet. | 15. Make slits in dough at 1 inch intervals. | 16. Bake until golden-brown, 30-40 minutes. | 17. If bottom of pastry doesn’t appear done, put baking pan directly on floor of oven for last 10 minutes or so of baking. | 18. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before cutting directly through pastry. | 19. Note: Feta also makes a good and different tasting roll. Sub it for the cheddar, and use slightly less as it has a sharper/saltier flavour. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
