Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ¾ teaspoons salt
1 large eggplant, peeled and cubed
¼ cup chopped onion
¾ cup chopped green bell pepper
1 ½ cups bread crumbs
2 eggs
½ ounce shredded Cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 quart vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • In a medium-size pot, place one inch of water, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and eggplant. Cover pot and cook 15 minutes, or until eggplant is tender. Drain well.
  • Chop the cooked eggplant. In a large bowl, combine eggplant, onion, green pepper, 3/4 cup bread crumbs, 1 egg, cheese, paprika, pepper and remaining salt. Cool and chill 2 to 3 hours or overnight.
  • Place flour in a bowl. Beat the remaining egg in a separate small bowl. Drop mixture by heaping teaspoonfuls into the flour and coat completely. Then dip the eggplant balls into the beaten egg; finally, coat the balls with the remaining bread crumbs.
  • In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil and fry eggplant balls until they are heated through.

These eggplant balls were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

The eggplant balls were a bit greasy for my taste. I think I'll try baking them next time instead of frying them.

I thought the eggplant balls were a bit bland. I added some extra seasonings and they were much better.

The eggplant balls were good, but the sauce was a bit too spicy for my taste. Next time I'll use less chili pepper.
