SERVES 6
COOK TIME 1 Hr 10 Min
What You'll Need
1/2 medium eggplant, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
1 onion, quartered
2 cloves garlic
1/4 cup olive oil
1 pound ground pork

What to Do
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
Place the eggplant, onion, and garlic, in a food processor that has been fitted with its metal cutting blade. Process 15 to 20 seconds, or until finely chopped.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, heat oil until hot; cook eggplant mixture 4 to 5 minutes, or until softened.
In a large bowl, combine remaining ingredients; mix well. Add eggplant mixture to meat mixture; mix well. Form into an oval shape and place on baking sheet.
