First of all, to prepare the eggplant meatballs, we dedicate ourselves to cooking the aubergines, so we take the latter, wash them and dry them very well and place them on a baking tray lined with a sheet of baking paper, then cook them in a static oven already hot at 200\u00b0 C for about 1 hour.<\/p>\n
After an hour the aubergines will be cooked, take them out of the oven and let them cool, once they are cold we remove the peel and the stem, transfer the pulp into a sieve and using a spoon we crush them to let the excess water escape.<\/p>\n
We then take a large bowl and place the aubergine pulp inside, add the egg, a crushed garlic clove, the breadcrumbs, the previously grated parmesan, season with salt and pepper and finally add the parsley that we will have previously washed and finely chopped. Knead everything using your hands until you obtain a homogeneous mixture.<\/p>\n
So let’s dedicate ourselves to preparing the meatballs, take a small portion of the dough and using our hands, form a nice ball, about the size of a walnut, carry out the same procedure until all the dough is used up. Once all the balls have been formed, we roll them in breadcrumbs.<\/p>\n
We then heat plenty of peanut oil to a temperature of around 170\u00b0C. Once the oil is hot, immerse a few meatballs at a time, in this way the temperature will always remain high, cook them for about 3 minutes until they are nicely browned, drain them and place them on sheets of absorbent paper to eliminate the excess oil.<\/p>\n
Our eggplant meatballs are now ready to be served while still hot.<\/p>\n
You can store the eggplant meatballs for a maximum of 2 days in an airtight container, we recommend heating them in the oven or microwave before consuming them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
