ITALIAN EGGPLANT BALLS (USE JUST LIKE MEATBALLS) FRY OR BAKE
I've made these for a long time. These Italian eggplant balls are a great substitute for meatballs. Use them just like meatballs, in sauces, in recipes, as a side dish, etc. They can be a vegetarian substitution for many dishes. I like these best fried because I like them crispy. You could bake them instead. They go great "parmesan style" too, in a casserole dish, topped with sauce, parmesan & mozzarella cheese then baked...

- 2. Meanwhile, trim the tops and bottoms from the eggplant and peel. Cut the eggplant into quarters, lengthwise. Cut each quarter into 5 chunks.
- 3. Carefully add the eggplant to the boiling water. Boil for 12-15 minutes, until the eggplant has softened. Use a spider to stir and submerge the chunks every so often. The eggplant should be very soft and mushy, but still hold its shape.
- 4. Strain the eggplant in a colander. Put the colander into a bowl, leaving at least 2 inches of space between the colander and the bowl. Place a weight over the eggplant and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to remove as much liquid as possible. Discard the extracted liquid.
