Ingredients
- 3 Tablespoons (Tbsp) OLIVE OIL
- 1 Pounds (lbs) EGGPLANT, unpeeled, cubed
- 1 ONION DICE
- 1 Tablespoons (Tbsp) CLOVES minced
- 1 Cups (cu) WHITE BEANS, cooked or canned
- 1/4 Cups (cu) PARSLEY, chopped
- 1 Cups (cu) BREAD CRUMBS
- pinch CHILI FLAKES
- 1 Cups (cu) TOMATO SAUCE
Directions
- 1. Heat the oven to 375°F. use 1 tablespoon olive oil to grease a large rimmed baking sheet.
- Put 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When it’s hot, add the eggplant and 1 ⁄ 4 cup water.

- Transfer the eggplant to the bowl of a food processor.
- 2. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pan along with the onion and garlic and return to the heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until they’re soft and translucent, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, drain the beans; if using canned, rinse them before draining. add the beans and parsley to the work bowl with the eggplant and pulse until well combined and chopped, but not pureed.
- 3. Toss the eggplant mixture with the onion and garlic, then add the breadcrumbs and red chili flakes if you’re using them.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning.
- Roll the mixture into 12 balls about 2 inches in diameter; transfer them to the prepared pan. bake, undisturbed, until they’re firm and well browned, 25 to 30 minutes.
