Talong Bola Bola

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Meatballs are awesome. You can enjoy eating it by itself, or you can make certain dishes using it. Talong bola bola is a type of meatball composed of eggplant and ground pork. This makes a perfect appetizer. It is crisp on the outside and it tastes yummy. I suggest having it with dipping sauce to make your eating experience more pleasurable.

I enjoy eating meatballs. Spaghetti with meatballs and sweet and sour meatballs are some of my favorite meatball dishes. I thought of experimenting by adding a vegetable component to the regular meatballs in order to make it more budget friendly. Since eggplants are fairly priced in the market, this was the first veggie that I thought of using.

It might not sound like your conventional meatball, but there are several reasons why I liked it. Cost is one of these. The overall price to make it is less compared to traditional meatball. I also like the texture. It is crisp on the outside, while soft and nice inside. 

Making this dish is easy. The only thing that needs preparation are the eggplants. I first boil the eggplants until soft, and then peel each piece and chop it into small pieces. From there, all the ingredients are combined and the mixture is shaped into a ball. Dredge each ball in breadcrumbs and then deep fry for 8 minutes using low heat.
