1 red onion, quartered
2 garlic cloves
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup basil leaves, chopped
1 egg, lightly beaten

1/2 cup plain flour
2 tablespoons olive oil

Method

Place eggplant into a saucepan. Cover with water. Bring to the boil over medium heat. Cook for 5 minutes or until soft. Drain.

Process bread, onion and garlic in a food processor until breadcrumbs form. Add parmesan, basil, egg, eggplant, and salt and pepper. Process until well combined but not smooth. Transfer to a bowl. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Using floured hands, divide mixture into 4 x 1cm-thick patties. Coat in flour. Cover. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.


Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Cook patties for 4 to minutes each side or until golden. Serve.
