a vegetarians dream alternative to a meatball!!! These were AMAZING over pasta Recipe: 1 lb eggplant (about 3 small eggplants) roasted in cubes at 400 F for about 15 mins until tender 1 cup white beans, drained 1/2 cup parsley, chopped 1 cup grated pecorino romano cheese 3 garlic cloves mashed in 1/4 of olive oil 1/2 tsp Calabrian chili powder (or sub red pepper flakes) 1 tsp fresh or dried thyme S/P to taste ~2 cups breadcrumbs to roll the balls in First, pulse the eggplant and the beans in a food processor until well combined. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add the parsley, grated cheese, garlic/olive oil mixture, spices, and salt/pepper. Form the mixture into balls and roll in the breadcrumbs. Bake at 400 degrees for around 15 mins on each side! Serve over pasta or as a meatball sandwich. #vegetarianrecipes #vegetarianfood #vegetariancooking #italiancooking #eggplantrecipe
