Eggplant "Meatballs"











I don't want to call these eggplant balls but thats what they are. These were so nice that even a meat eating 16 year old said they were better than actual meatballs.

Firstly cut a large eggplant in half oil and oven bake
remove from oven and allow to cool.

In a blender combine the flesh of the eggplant
60gms of roasted pine nuts
60gms of grated parmesan
1 egg
Blend until smooth
Combine with bread crumbs

Roll into balls place on a baking tray and allow to set for 15 minutes in the fridge
Oven bake at 180c for until golden brown (a spray of oil will help)

Then serve them as you would with meatballs
Your favourite pasta and pasta sauce.
I think they will also make a very nice rissole
