Fried Eggplant Balls - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 whole medium eggplant
1 egg, beaten
1/2 c. Swiss cheese, grated
4 Tbsp. Italian bread crumbs
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. lemon juice
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper

Preparation

Cook the eggplant in boiling water until tender; peel it and mash up the pulp. Add remaining ingredients to the pulp and mix well. You may want to add a bit more crumbs if the mixture seems too thin for forming into balls. Shape into small balls and refrigerate at least 1 hour. Roll balls in flour and deep-fry until crisp. Serve hot.
