Here is how you make Eggplant Balls with Marinara Sauce:

Eggplant Balls:Peel the eggplant, slice and dice it. Saute your minced garlic in olive oil. Add the eggplant with a splash of water (1-2 tbsp) so it will steam up. Cover it and stir it so it doesn't stick. The egglant needs to be really soft this should take about 20 minutes you will know when it is ready because it won't be white anymore rather brownish grey. Let it cool so you can handle it. Mix it in a large bowl with the rest of your ingredients. This is very sticky if it is too sticky/wet add more bread crumbs. A warm bowl of water next to you helps. Dip your hands in, in between rolling the balls. It keeps the mixture from sticking to your hands this helps with regular meatballs too. Bake for about 30 minutes at 325 on a cookie sheet sprayed with cooking spray. You can cook them directly in your sauce but they will probably fall apart. Marinara Sauce:Saute the garlic, add your tomatoes, season, let cook for 30-40 minutes, uncovered. Add your eggplant and enjoy.Number of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user VMORGAN1971.
