Fried Eggplant Balls

Ingredients:

• 1 cup cooked eggplant flesh (no skin)

• 1 cup parmesan, grated

• ¾ cup breadcrumbs

• 3 tbs finely chopped basil

• 1 egg, beaten

• 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

• 3 tbs finely chopped parsley

• Pinch of salt

• 1 cup olive oil

• Chris’ Traditional Three Olive Dip

Method:

1. Place everything except olive oil and dip into a food processor and pulse until well combined

2. Heat olive oil in a fry pan, test the heat of the oil with a drop of water – if it sizzles, it’s ready

3. Scoop mixture with a little spoon and drop into the oil, fry until golden on each side, gently turning

4. Drain on paper towel and top with a dollop of Chris’ Traditional Three Olive Dip and some parsley to garnish
