There are tons of things you can make with an eggplant. You can make Moussaka, fried eggplant, dressing, grilled. I do love eggplant. But one thing I would never have thought to use them in meatballs. But Donna did.
She also put in feta cheese, mint leaves (which I left out), parsley, ground beef, and lemon rind. Quite a different combo – for us anyways!!
I tried couple with the tzatziki. Not impressed. I froze them for later to use in…eh…something. Sorry, Sarah (It was her choice). Interesting though.
Did the other members of WWDH like the meatballs? Check with them…

If you want to cook with us just leave one of us a comment. We’d love to have you.
BTW the recipe for these meatballs is on Donna’s website.

I don’t think this was my pick. I can’t imagine since we don’t eat meat and dairy together. I used Tofu in place of the feta. I chose the cake for last week. Anyway, I am sorry, this was not to your liking. I am a big eggplant fan and remember being fascinated at the use of the eggplant in the recipe.

I should have known that. Thanks for the heads up.

It was Sarah’s pick this week. i swear…you and I have very different taste buds…lol…we absolutely loved these. I made them with all the ingredients she suggested in the same amounts and that recipe really worked, it was so nice and tasty. I love how the eggplant cut the fat and calories from having it all be meat and also no egg or bread binders. Definitely a repeat for us. And, by the way, yours look delicious…send them over here!!

Sorry you didn’t like them. I enjoyed them for a change.

Well, it was something different, eh? Too bad. I picked them because I was intrigued that meatballs could have cheese in them. And also, I find eggplant to be a slightly boring vegetable in taste, so I imagined Donna could find a way to make it better tasting. Well, maybe you’ll pull those meatballs out of the freezer sometime… or perhaps not.

Not that I didn’t like them. Just not a repeat. Eggplant is boring. Have been figuring out how to up the flavor on these.
