Eggplant Mozzarella Falafels

I've never done a recipe blog but I'm pretty proud of this creation so here goes.

I had a few random veggies in my fridge and falafel mix so I made it up as I went and it was Delicious and pretty healthy!

You will need:

Eggplant ( 3 cups diced )

Celery ( 3 stalks diced )

Green onions ( 1/4 cup minced )

Part skim Mozzarella cheese ( 6 oz diced )

Crushed mint ( 1 1/2 tbsp )

Dill ( 2 tbsp )

Basil ( 2 tbsp )

Egg ( 1)

Whole wheat flour ( 3/4 cup )

Falafel mix or bread crumbs ( 2 cups )

Canola oil or whatever cooking oil you prefer ( about 3 cups )

Mix the eggplant, celery, green onions, Mozzarella, crushed mint, dill, basil, egg and flour together in a bowl until the consistency is a bit doughy and form medium sized balls with it. add flour if needed.

In a deep pan bring the canola oil to a slight boil on high heat. cover the balls with the falafel mix and drop into oil. Fry them for about 15 - 30 seconds each and remove. 

Gah! so yummy.

 I did the math and figured out that each Falafel ball is about 60 calories.

Enjoy!
