Eggplant "Eatballs"
I found this recipe on recipezaar.com. It is a great way to use eggplant as I have found it challenging to eat raw!
| 1 |
large eggplant |
| 2 |
beaten eggs |
| 1/3 |
cup parmesan cheese or soy cheese |
| 1 |
teaspoon mixed Italian herbs |
| 1 |
teaspoon garlic powder |
| 1 |
teaspoon onion powder |
|
black pepper, to taste |
|
sea salt, to taste |
| 1 |
cup whole wheat breadcrumbs |
- Slice eggplant and sprinkle with salt.
- Let sit 10 minutes to draw out water.
- Rinse and pat dry.
- Saute on stovetop with a splash of olive oil and about 1/4 cup water until eggplant is soft.
- Remove and chop finely.
- Mix everything but the breadcrumbs when eggplant is cool.
- Then add breadcrumbs and mix until you get the consistency you want to form the balls.
- Place in a generously olive oiled pan about l inch apart and bake at 400 degrees until golden brown, about 40 60 minutes.
- Turn halfway through baking to ensure even browning.
