It is very important to check that the absence of gluten is indicated on the packaging of the products used. If you're ready, let's find out the recipe for gluten-free aubergine meatballs together!

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 dripping pan lined with baking paper and cook in a preheated oven at 200°C for about 60 minutes depending on the size of the aubergines.
2. When cooked, remove the aubergines from the oven and let them cool completely before removing the peel.
3. Take the eggplant pulp and put 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 baking tray in the oven 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 golden brown!
