EGGPLANT "MEATBALLS"



Eggplant

I love making a vegetarian version of a traditional meat recipe. I love it even more when my family and my students go crazy for it. Meatballs are such a familiar and popular food, I was a little unsure about how everyone would react when I subbed eggplant for ground beef. But sure enough, these eggplant "meatballs" were a huge hit! I honestly think these eggplant meatballs taste incredibly similar to regular ones, especially when covered with your favorite warm marinara sauce. They are tender enough to cut with a fork and are the perfect match with spaghetti squash for a serious veggie meal.

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 24 "meatballs"

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons unrefined, cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oil
6 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 pounds eggplant, unpeeled, cut into 1-inch cubes (you should have about 8 cups)
1 cup grated Parmesan or pecorino cheese
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves and tender stems, chopped
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
4 large eggs, beaten (you can use 2 to 4 eggs, but I like to use 4 for extra protein and to hold the meatballs together better)
1 1/2 cups regular or GF dried breadcrumbs or panko breadcrumbs (you can use as little as 1 cup, but the meatballs will be much softer)
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
A few grinds of black pepper
3 cups marinara sauce

Steps:

  • Heat a large high-sided skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and saute the garlic in the hot oil until just fragrant and barely starting to lightly brown, about 30 seconds. Add the eggplant and 1/4 cup of water. Lower the heat to low and cover the skillet. Allow the eggplant to steam until soft, about 20 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, if you have time.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper.
  • Place the eggplant mixture in a food processor and pulse until well chopped, but not pureed. Or just do this on a cutting board with a knife.
  • Transfer the eggplant mixture to a large mixing bowl and add the cheese, parsley, basil, eggs, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper. Stir the mixture well to combine, using your hands or a wooden spoon. The mixture can be refrigerated at this point, covered for up to a day. It is easier to roll into meatballs when the mixture is cooled down. (If doing so, preheat the oven 30 minutes before baking the meatballs.)
  • Roll or scoop the mixture using a 1- to 1 1/2-ounce ice cream scoop into 1 1/2-inch balls and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25 minutes, or until firm on the outside and light brown underneath.
  • Meanwhile, heat the marinara sauce in a large saucepan over low heat until simmering. Transfer the meatballs to the saucepan with marinara sauce. Toss with the sauce and serve.

EGGPLANT MEATBALLS WITH MARINARA SAUCE



Eggplant Meatballs with Marinara Sauce image

"Who says meatballs have to have meat? After roasting, eggplant takes on a meaty flavor."

Provided by Melissa d'Arabian : Food Network

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 small eggplant (about 12 ounces)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup cooked white beans, such as cannellini or navy (rinsed, if canned), smashed with a fork
1 large clove garlic, very finely chopped or pressed through a garlic press
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh basil leaves or flat-leaf parsley
1/2 cup finely grated parmesan cheese, plus extra for sprinkling (optional)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup whole-wheat panko-stylebreadcrumbs
Olive oil mister or nonstick pan spray
2 cups marinara sauce (homemade or store-bought)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and place the eggplant on top. Use a fork to prick the eggplant 4 times, then place the eggplant in the oven and roast it until it has completely collapsed and a paring knife easily slips into the center, 40 to 50 minutes. Cool the eggplant 20 minutes. Leave the oven on.
  • Slice the eggplant in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out the flesh (discard the skin). Place the roasted eggplant in a medium bowl and stir in the egg and beans. Add the garlic, basil, parmesan, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and stir to combine, then mix in the breadcrumbs.
  • Again, line the rimmed baking sheet with a clean sheet of foil and lightly mist it with spray. Shape the eggplant mixture into balls about the size of a golf ball (2 tablespoons per ball; you should get about 16). Place them on the prepared baking sheet and lightly mist the top of the balls with spray. Bake the eggplant balls until they are golden brown and firm, about 20 minutes.
  • While the meatballs cook, warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan. Remove the meatballs from the oven, sprinkle with a little extra parmesan and serve with the marinara sauce.
