#9: Eggplant Pizza Bites
This recipe will change your life forever. A single eggplant can be used to fill the bulk of your plate while also satisfying your urge for a pizza.
Estimated meal price: €2.35
Below find instructions and ingredients for a recipe catering for the eggplant pizza bites alone. Normally, I would recommend coupling a few bites with a salad, as shown below.
Instructions
Take a 300g eggplant (€0.10) and cut it into slices. Spread each slice with vinegar (around 3 tsp vinegar (€0.15) in total), and Biona pesto (€0.40). Add salt, pepper, mixed Italian herbs, 50g diced onion (€0.07), 70g Pecorino Romano cheese (€1.49) and 50g diced cherry tomatoes (€0.14).
Place the eggplants in an oven, preheated at 220 degrees Celsius and let them cook for 30 minutes. Following that, reduce the heat to 180 degrees and cook for a further 10 - 15 minutes.
When you’re done, you can add a few pizza bites with a salad of your choice. I use a mixture similar to one you can find by clicking here, coupled with spinach.
Alone, the eggplant meal would cost a measly €2.35
