Step-by-step
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/390°F/gas mark 6. Line two large baking sheets with baking parchment.
- Cut each aubergine lengthways into very thin slices (discarding the first and last slices as these will be mainly skin) to give about 10 slices from each.
- Place in a single layer on the baking sheets and brush with half the olive oil. Season and bake for 15 minutes.
- Turn the slices over, brush with the remaining oil and bake for a further 5-10 minutes until pale golden. Take care not to overbrown the slices or they’ll be too crisp to roll.
- Combine the tomato paste, garlic and oregano, and spread very thinly over the aubergines. Sprinkle with the cheese and roll up, starting from a thin end.
- Secure with cocktail sticks and place on a baking sheet lined with clean baking parchment. Chill for up to 24 hours, or until you are ready to reheat.
- To serve, preheat the oven to 180°C/360°F/gas mark 4. Bake the wraps for 6-8 minutes to heat through.
- Transfer to a serving plate, along with a bowl of the tomato salsa for spooning over.
