Sandwichs aux boulettes d’aubergine alla parmigiana, from Presque Végétarien (Marabout) +++++ This is from the “un jour sans viande” chapter of this great book that helps you transition slowly to vegetarianism (as well as cook crossover dishes that can be converted for meat eaters who might be sharing). I have the French version, but it was originally published in English as “Almost Vegetarian”. Anyway, maybe I’m becoming more vegetarian than I thought, or maybe it’s because they were slathered in tomato passata and parmesan cheese, but I promise you, these aubergine balls could so easily be mistaken for classic meatballs. The aubergine is roasted and then blended with chickpeas, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic and rosemary to make meat(less)balls that are then pan-friend before going under the grill from within the sandwich. I didn’t have the right bread, but a bit of baguette did just fine. The result is a “meatball” sub that could convert even the most carnivorous of Joey Tribiannis... +++++ #meatlessballs #vegetariansub #howyoudoin #vegetarian #easy #easyvegetarian #cookingbooks #almostvegetarian #presquevegetarien #adaywithoutmeat #unjoursansviande #nomorejunk #onmytable #instafood #mum #mumlife #kidfood @edition_marabout @maraboutcuisine
