Meatballs With Eggplant

Tuesday, May 5th, 2009

These flavorful meatballs, made with Formato Brothers Eggplant Salad, will be well received, served with your favorite pasta & sauce.  Delicious by themselves or on an Italian bun.  Pour some Conte Marinara sauce over them for added flavor.

Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
1 cup Vigo Italian Breadcrumbs
1/2 cup chopped onions
2 Tsp oregano
3 Tblsp Formato Brothers Eggplant Salad (drained & chopped)
2 Tsp black ground pepper
2 Tsp Alessi Sea Salt
1 egg

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Mix all ingredients together by hand in large stainless bowl.
Roll an average amount into 1 1/2 – 2 inch wide balls & place on a raised cookie rack on a cookie sheet (with sides).  This will allow the excess fat from meatballs to drain onto the cookie sheet while they are baked in the oven.
Bake in oven for 22 – 25 minutes.  Enjoy.   Buon Appetito!
