Preparation

Step 1

step 1

ingredients 1 large Eggplant (trim ends; cut in half)

instructions Place the eggplant in a pot of boiling water, skin side down, water not covering but surrounding it. Lower heat, cover and cook until soft. Remove to a colander skin side up and drain well (about an hour). The eggplant will be very soft.

step 2

1 cup Pecorino Romano Cheese (freshly grated)
Salt and Pepper to taste

instructions Transfer the eggplant to a bowl and chop it up until it is reduced to mush. Add the bread crumbs, grated cheese, and salt and pepper. If the mixture is too soft add some more bread crumbs.

step 3

ingredients Flour for dredging
Olive Oil for frying

instructions Roll the mixture into balls and dredge in flour. Fry the balls in olive oil until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes
