BAKED AUBERGINE (EGGPLANT) BALLS
My toddler loves to eat eggplant this way. To increase the variety of foods she was eating and because I had no breadcrumbs I substituted ground almonds and couscous with good effect. I have also substituted the parsley with finely chopped up vegetables. This is a good base recipe to play around with.
