Just peel the eggplant with a veggie peeler then chop the flesh – that’s got to be quicker than scooping out! Looks good, though. I would definitely add herbs if I had some to hand. Always looking for new ways to get more eggplant in my life!

In reply to Bev. Yes, you scoop out the raw pulp of an eggplant, then chop it into tiny bits. Only the pulp is used for this recipe.

Hi there
I’m uncertain as to whether you use the Eggplant as a whole. You say to cut the Eggplant in half, scoop out the pulp. Chop it and put it in the bowl. Is that the pulp you’re referring to? Or is the pulp discarded and the Eggplant chopped. Rather confusing.

Hi Kat!

Sorry to hear that. Don’t know why that happened. I recently discovered a great ingredient – inactive dry yeast flakes. I started adding it in all my vegan patties recipes and it is amazing! It does not only taste great, but it makes the patties stick together and not get crumbly at all. I updated my patties recipes and added this ingredient too. It makes them even better. You should give it a try! 🙂

I tried to fry them at first, but they fell apart as soon as the eggplant started to cook and get mushy. I would recommend either pre cooking the eggplant partially or use a muffin tray (which is currently what i am doing). I also opted to put other herbs and spices along the greek sort of idea. What i did fry up tasted very good. Thanks for the great recipe 🙂

In reply to Robyn. Sure! I actually do this with almost all my patties recipes. :)

Hi there – these look great! Do you think they would freeze well pre-frying?

In reply to Mihaela. Sigur! Eu recomand lintea rosie pentru ca se gateste mai repede si are o culoare mai frumoasa. E doar o preferinta personala :) Abia astept sa vad cum iti ies!

In reply to Rhonda M.. Hi Rhonda, Thanks! No, you don't have to cook it first. It will cook when you light-fry or bake the patties. You can scoop out the pulp using a tablespoon. It is best to use small, young eggplants. They have a sweeter taste.

In reply to Laura McCarthy. Hi Laura! No, there's no need to cook it before. I used fresh eggplants for this recipe.

These look great but I am confused about the eggplant…do you cook it first? Otherwise, how would you scoop out the pulp? I wouldn’t think the cooking time would be long enough to cook it .

Do you cook the eggplant before forming the patties?
