I find adding a generous slug of white vinegar to the poaching water – we’re talking a good 3-4 tablespoons, is all you need to get good looking poached eggs, every time.

The eggplant are cut into 1/2-inch slices and broiled briefly to tenderize them. Then the slices are rolled up and around a simple mixture of breadcrumbs, garlic, balsamic vinegar, mozzarella, basil, oregano, red pepper and diced tomatoes (pine nuts too, but I omitted them). Once assembled, you pop the eggplant rolls into the oven to heat them through and melt the cheese.

But, you can certainly accomplish this dish all by yourself. With a bit of planning and breaking the instructions into manageable parts, it is totally doable. Give yourself 2 days for this one. Gather the ingredients and cook the filling on day 1, and then prepare and cook the tamales on day 2.
