Ingredients
  

  • 1 eggplant average size
  • 160 grams canned tuna
  • 130 grams breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 40 grams Parmesan cheese
  • pepper a pinch
  • nutmeg a pinch
  • parsley
  • thyme
  • salt

Instructions
 

  • Wash and cut the eggplant into small cubes. Put on a plate and cover with plastic wrap. Poke holes to the wrap with a fork. Cook in a microwave for 3-4 minutes (500W).
  • After cooking the eggplant soft in the microwave, place it in a bowl of a blender. Blend until well-mixed paste forms. Add tuna, egg, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, and spices. Mix well.
  • Form balls using your hands.
  • If cooking on a pan: Cook on a pan with olive oil for a few minutes on both sides.
  • If cooking in the oven: Place the balls on a baking tray, lined with baking paper. Cook for 20 minutes (190°C).
  • Serve with a side of your choice.

Notes

  • If you don't want to cook the eggplant in the microwave, you can also use the oven, baking for about 15 min (190°C). But for this recipe, the microwave is just fine.
