Altered ingredient amounts. Deap? What does this mean? - 21 Jun 2011
Thanks for the great idea. I did adjust the recipe and directions to suit my needs. I mashed the eggplant instead of using the food processor and added potato flakes and Italian flavored breadcrumbs instead of flour for a better rolling consistency. Then I browned them in garlic and olive oil for a real Italian flavor. They are quite tasty and great with spaghetti squash. - 26 Jan 2003 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
very messy. the balls did not stay together when fried. Consistency was mushy. - 20 Mar 2000 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
