Meatless Meatball Sandwich Cooks-up in 7-miutes Serves 2 This is my go-to comfort meal these days. It is really, tasty and can be made with just a few ingredients. Ingredients: 4 – 8 meatless meatballs ½ - 1 of one small Japanese eggplant. Do not substitute regular eggplant. 1 - 2 croissant or French roll 1/3 cup of tomato sauce – I prefer Rao’s Arrabiata or Trader Joe’s Arrabiata. Black pepper to taste Instructions: 1. Cut the eggplant as thin as you can cut it. This minimizes the skin. Or cut the skin off entirely. Make very thin round shapes. 2. Cut the croissant or the roll in half. 3. In a frying pan, add butter and pepper. Cover and heat, on low, for 1 minute 4. Add the eggplant and meatballs, 5. Cover and heat for 6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6. Remove the croissants or rolls. 7. Pour in the tomato sauce on just the eggplant and meatballs. At the same time, put the croissants in a dry part of the pan. 8. Cover for 1 minute. This softens the croissant and keeps the sauce from evaporating. 9. Put the croissant or roll halves on a dish with cut side up. 10. Pour the mixture on top. 11. To avoid a spectacular mess, eat with knife and fork. 12. This meatless meal can also be made with lean, grassfeed, beef meatballs. 13. You can also toast the croissants or rolls in the oven, if preferred.
