A while back I remember finding jarred Eggplant Puree and grabbed it because I wanted to try it and it was on sale. I remember liking it but you could certainly make your own straight from the Eggplant. I don't always have access to Eggplant here so I assume that had something to do with my excitement back then when finding the product.
The first thing I made with the Eggplant Puree was Baba Ganoush. With the leftovers I made these Eggplant Cakes. I just happened to kick them up a notch with some Jalapeno Oil but that's optional, of course. Here's what I used for these Eggplant Cakes:
2 Cups Eggplant Puree
2 Cups Vegan Bread Crumbs
Lemon Pepper Seasoning to taste
I mixed everything together and made them into patties and pan-fried them in Jalapeno Flavored Grapeseed Oil until crispy. I really enjoyed them and have been thinking about them lately and might have to try them again once I find Eggplant. This time around I will be making my own Eggplant Puree.
