One of the most delicious things invented! Best fried just before you serve them, but they are fine at room temperature too if it’s a hot day.
Prep time: 20 mins | Total time: 1 hour 30 mins | Servings: 10
Ingredients
- 4 aubergines/eggplants
- 200g (7oz) breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs
- parsley, bunch, chopped finely
- garlic, 2 cloves, chopped finely
- salt
- pepper
- oil for frying
Directions
- Preheat your oven to the highest temperature.
- Make lengthwise slits in the aubergines and bake for 45 minutes to an hour, until they feel soft inside. Leave to cool.
- Peel the aubergines and squeeze the water out of them well using a dishtowel. Chop finely.
- Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. If the consistency seems too soft to form croquettes, add more breadcrumbs.
- Form croquettes (either spherical or cylindrical) and roll in more breadcrumbs.
- Shallow fry in hot oil until golden brown.
