The ingredients for Vanessa's Eggplant Burgers are:

1 medium eggplant
2 carrots
2/3 cup oatmeal
1 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 small onion, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp oregano
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (optional)
salt and pepper
olive oil for frying

Here is how you make Vanessa's Eggplant Burgers:

Peel the eggplant and carrots. Cut the eggplant into 1″ cubes and chop the carrots. Boil the vegetables in salted water (or steam) until tender, about 10 minutes.When the veggies are done, drain them and press out any extra water. Put in a mixing bowl and crush with an immersion blender. You could also use food processor but you don’t want to completely puree the veggies, just rough them up a little bit.To the veggies add the onion, garlic, oregano, parmesan (optional) and salt and pepper to taste.Shape the mixture into burgers (or “meatballs” if you’d like) and dust with more breadcrumbs. The Li’l Sis recommends the meatball or flat burgers shape so they become proportionately more crisp outside to juicy inside.Heat the olive oil over medium high heat and brown the burgers for a few minutes on each side, until golden brown. Drain on a paper towel.Number of Servings: 1Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user YANKEEFANGIRL.
