Ingredients

    1 small eggplant
    1/4 small onion
    1 garlic clove
    1 large egg white
    12 ounces ground chicken, or italian chicken sausage
    1/8 cup shredded parmesan cheese
    1/4 cup rolled oats

Directions

1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees.

2. Place the eggplant on the grate of a gas burner over a high flame. Char the eggplant, turning occasionally, until the skin is charred. Allow to cool slightly, then cut in half. Scrape out the flesh, discarding the skin. Measure 1/4 cup of the flesh; reserving the remaining eggplant for later use.

2. In a food processor, combine the onion, garlic, eggplant and egg white. Puree until smooth. In a large bowl, combine the pureed mixture with the ground chicken, parsley, oats, and 2 tablespoons of the parmesan.

3. Roll the mixture out into 12 portions, and place on a cookie sheet, lined with aluminum foil and sprayed with cooking spray. Bake about 25 minutes, or until firm to the touch.
