Preparation of gluten-free meatballs with aubergines

1. Start the preparation by washing the aubergines well under running cold water, remove the stalks and place the aubergines on a baking tray lined with baking paper and cook in a preheated oven at 200°C for approximately 60 minutes depending on the size of the aubergines.
2. Once cooked, remove the aubergines from the oven and let them cool completely before removing the peel.
3. Take the aubergine pulp and place it in the mixer. Add the parsley and grated cheese and blend to obtain a smooth puree, then add the egg, a pinch of salt and a spoonful of oil.
4. Add the flour, mix and add as much breadcrumbs as needed to obtain a soft but workable mixture with your hands.
5. Form the meatballs, roll them in the breadcrumbs and place them on the oven tray with greaseproof paper.
6. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for 30 minutes , taking care to turn the meatballs halfway through cooking. Remove from the oven and serve hot, warm or cold according to your taste.

Alternatively you can cook them in a pan with a drizzle of oil, or fry them: in both cases you will understand that they are ready when they are nice and golden!

If you prefer, you can prepare eggplant meatballs without eggs following our recipe and if you need to follow a gluten-free diet, simply replace the flour with a specific gluten-free preparation.

Conservation

The aubergine meatballs can be kept in the fridge for 2/3 days. Place them in a tightly closed container and reheat them if necessary. Alternatively you can also freeze them .
