Eggplant (Aubergine) Patties or Eggplant Fritters image

A quick and easy side dish or appetizer, and an alternative to fried eggplant strips. Could easily be made into a "parmigiana" verison with a bit of sauce and some good mozzarella cheese.

Provided by DeSouter

Categories     Vegetable

Time 20m

Yield 10 fritters

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 large eggplants
1 cup breadcrumbs
1/2-3/4 cup of good quality parmesan cheese or 1/2-3/4 cup pecorino romano cheese
2 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon oregano, rubbed between palms
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Cut ends off of eggplants, cut in half length-wise and then into five pieces, length-wise.
  • Cut across into 3/4" chunks.
  • Steam eggplant chunks for 10 minutes and cool slightly.
  • Heat oil in a large frying pan - you may mix vegetable and olive oil instead of using just olive oil.
  • Squeeze liquid out of steamed pieces with your hands, keeping pieces from getting too mashed.
  • Place bread crumbs (seasoned or unseasoned), parmesan cheese and seasonings into a large bowl and mix.
  • You could use a clove or two of fresh garlic, sauteed in place of the garlic salt.
  • Beat eggs in a small bowl and add to bread crumb mix along with eggplant pieces.
  • Stir to mix well.
  • Form patties of any size, but not exceeding an inch in thickness and place in frying pan.
  • Cook for five minutes on each side.
  • Remove to a towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Place in a warm oven if you are not ready to serve them immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose firm and young eggplant: Avoid eggplants that are too soft or have blemishes.
  • Slice the eggplant evenly: This will ensure even cooking.
  • Pat the eggplant slices dry: This will help them to crisp up.
  • Use a light coating of oil: Too much oil will make the eggplant greasy.
  • Season the eggplant slices well: This will enhance their flavor.
  • Bake the eggplant slices at a high temperature: This will help them to crisp up quickly.
  • Flip the eggplant slices halfway through cooking: This will ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Serve the eggplant slices hot: They are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Oven-fried eggplant is a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional fried eggplant. It is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and it can be enjoyed as a main course or a side dish. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, oven-fried eggplant is a great option for a quick and tasty meal.
