Eggplant Patties
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 4 cups peeled eggplant finely chopped
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup cornflake crumbs
- 1/4 cup shredded vegan cheese any flavor
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 Tablespoon Fresh parsley finely chopped
- 1-2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 leaf Boston Bibb lettuce
- 1 slice of tomato
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Pour water and 1/2 tsp salt into a medium pot. Bring to a boil and add the chopped eggplant.
- Lower heat to medium and steam for about three minutes, until the eggplant has softened and most of the water is absorbed.
- Drain in a colander and use a large spoon to press the eggplant; squeeze all excess liquid out of it. Add in the remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly.
- Form the mixture into 2 inch round balls and flatten to about 1/2 inch thickness.
- In a non-stick frying pan add 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Grease your hands. Then place patties into the pan until the bottom has a crispy golden outer layer. Flip and brown on second size.
- Serve on your choice of bun with Bibb lettuce and a fresh slice of tomato.
