Like pizza, calzone originated in Naples, where they are believed to have been created as a more portable form of pizza that could be eaten without utensils. They are essentially a circle of pizza dough stuffed with fillings then folded in half before being baked in a pizza oven. Fillings vary from meats, cheeses and vegetables, and traditionally do not contain tomato sauce. Instead, a small dish of tomato sauce is served on the side. Our recipe makes calzones with two different fillings. The ingredients can be doubled for either filling to make four calzones the same.

Add sliced eggplant to Varoma dish and tray and steam 8 min /250°F// speed 1 while cooking the onions and green pepper. The eggplant will still be firm and not as tender in this version. If using this version you can also add red bell pepper when adding green bell pepper, this will give a chopped version of both peppers or alternatively replace fresh bell pepper with canned or jar of drained roasted red pepper strips.

Accompany with salad and a savoury yogurt drink, garnished with fresh chopped mint and parsley leaves.
