Cooking Instructions

HIDE IMAGES
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and spray a sheet tray with Nonstick Cooking Spray (as needed) .
Step 2
Toss the diced Eggplants (2) and Garlic (8 cloves) with olive oil and Salt (to taste) and evenly scatter across the sheet tray - avoid overcrowding the eggplant and use two sheet trays if needed. Roast the eggplant and garlic for 40 minutes.
Step 3
While the eggplant is cooking, use a food processor to puree your Onion (1/2) . Set aside on a cheesecloth or paper towel to drain the excess water.
Step 4
When the eggplant is done, peel the garlic and add it to a food processor with the eggplant. Pulse in 2-second intervals until the mixture is just broken down, but not watery.
Step 5
Transfer the eggplant mixture to a bowl along with the Fresh Parsley (1/4) , Egg (1) , Parmesan Cheese (to taste) , Breadcrumbs (to taste) , Crushed Red Pepper Flakes (1/2 tsp) , Pine Nuts (1/4 cup) , Salt (to taste) , Ground Black Pepper (to taste) , and mix until combined. Adjust the breadcrumbs and seasoning as needed, and don’t over mix the polpette or it won’t hold.
Step 6
Roll out each polpette into a 2-inch ball, transfer back to the sheet tray and bake for another 15 minutes. Serve with your favorite sauce and enjoy.
