Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 baby eggplants, skin-on and diced
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 cracked cloves garlic, plus 2 finely chopped cloves
1 red dry hot pepper, diced
1 large porcini, diced
2 eggs
3 tablespoons pecorino Romano
11/4 cups of unseasoned bread crumbs
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil or light olive oil
Fresh flat-leaf Italian parsley, finely chopped
Fresh basil, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Place the diced eggplant in a small deep bowl. Season with salt and compress with heavy object. Let it stand for approximately 1 hour. Squeeze out excess juice and set aside.
  • In a small frying pan, begin to heat 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 cracked garlic cloves, hot pepper. When fragrant, add the eggplant and diced mushrooms for approximately 3 minutes until brown and crisp. Discard the garlic.
  • In a bowl, beat eggs, add grated cheese, black pepper, remaining 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil, chopped fresh basil, and parsley. Add the eggplant, mushrooms, 2 garlic finely chopped cloves, and bread crumbs, and mix thoroughly.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a large non-stick frying pan or skillet. Wet your hands and begin to scoop 1/2 cup of mix to make patties. Start to fry when oil is very hot. Cook for 4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from pan and place on tray lined with paper towels to cool and absorb excess oil. Serve immediately.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

These patties were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try baking them next time instead of frying them.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could use more seasoning.

These patties were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I think next time I'll use less chili powder.

These eggplant patties were a hit with my family! They were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a perfect balance of heat and spice. I will definitely be making them again.
