In New Orleans these are called wedding Balls. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons margarine( i use butter but this is health friendly) |
1/2 bunch green onions, sliced |
1 small white onion, chopped |
1 bell pepper, chopped |
1 pound raw shrimp, peeled (chopped if large) |
2 large eggplants, peeled, chopped, cooked |
creole seasoning to taste |
2 eggs, beaten |
italian bread crumbs( just get a box, you have to adjust the amount) |
1/4 cup grated parmesan |
Directions:
1. Melt margarine; saute onions and bell pepper until soft. Add shrimp and cook until pink. Add eggplants and creole seasoning; cook over low heat for 10 minutes. Drain excess liquid.
2. Add eggs; when cooked, add bread crumbs and cheese to thicken. Form into balls and heat on baking sheet for 10 minutes in 350-degree oven. May be frozen before baking.
3. make these the size of sausage balls . You can cook the eggplant in a skillet with seasoned water until tender to save on fat content, or saute in margarine.
4. I have made these with crawfish and mirlitons so I am sure this recipe will work.
