I am looking at your recipes and I love eggplant definitely going to try this one! Do you have a recipe for Arancini? Lucy's last blog post..It's A Beautiful Day Please do Lucy! I actually have never made arancini, but Marla at Bella Baita View has a recipe here: Risotto revisited or arancini tonight anyone?

Thank you for this recipe! I love eggplant, and this sounds delicious.

Do you happen to have a Calabrian recipe for baby eggplants stuffed with a cooked potato/eggplant/ bread mixture? It is dipped in eggs and romano cheese and then fried. My in-laws make it, and it is so good, but they can never seem to give me instructions or amounts for the ingrediants so that I can make them myself.

Thanks!

We don’t do stuffed eggplants exactly like that, but I think you’ve already found our version. Enjoy!

These are fabulous Michelle! Yummalicious, as I like to say. Anything with eggplant makes my heart go pitter patter…it must be the Sicilian in me!

These sound devine. Made me really hungry for some. Anything mixed with cheese is good in my book.

Oh I hear you there; you put cheese in it, and I’m good

These look great. And it seems kind of brilliant to take the scrumptious stuffing of something and make polpettini (which I’m sure I spelled wrong) out of them. How do you serve them? They look like they would mix in well with almost any course.

In the traditional Italian meal, these would probably be best as an appetizer, although since in my house we’re allowed to eat things alongside the pasta, they’d work well there too, I think

ooh, my mom used to try and trick me with these all the time when i was little and didn’t like eggplant! but i knew they weren’t meatballs.

michelle @ TNS’s last blog post..Cliffhanger!

Hah! No I don’t think you’d *mistake* these for meatballs, but they’re still pretty good

Oh WOW! I’m soooo glad you visited my site. I’m so jealous of YOU living in Italy and I LOVE eggplant. Though I usually mix them with ground beef for something my grandma called Pitzi Utzi!
Thanks for inviting me to your blog party. I haven’t made it there yet!

Interesting on the name…definitely sounds like some kind of dialect. I’m sure they’re great with meat in too
