Facebook fan Shawnee Penkacik's dry meatloaf is rescued with Cristina Ferrare's meatloaf recipe from "Big Bowl of Love" and a Bain Marie cooking technique.
Who says meatballs have to have meat? After being roasted in the oven, the eggplant takes on a meaty, hearty flavor that is an excellent foundation for “meatballs.” In addition, I flavor them with the traditional basil, garlic, and bread crumbs (whole wheat, in this case). I do have one other unusual twist up my sleeve, though: I add some smashed white beans for texture and an extra boost of protein. Pair these meatballs with your favorite marinara sauce and I bet no one will even know the difference!
