Buona domenica,

Today, I'd like to introduce you to a recipe that was born as a clever solution during times of scarcity but has become a beloved dish celebrated for its flavor and ingenuity: Italian Eggplant Meatballs (Polpette di Melanzane).

This dish is a classic example of cucina povera—a resourceful way of cooking where eggplants were used to replace expensive meat.

Over time, the recipe became so popular that it was even served at grand aristocratic parties.

Flavored with fresh basil, garlic, and Parmesan, these golden, crispy bites are versatile enough to serve as a starter, finger food, or buffet dish.

They’re adored by vegetarians, meat lovers, and even kids who might not realize they’re eating vegetables.

To learn how to make these delicious eggplant meatballs and discover the secrets to their perfect texture and flavor, head over to this week’s video and blog post:
