Luganega and Eggplants

Luganega and eggplants cooked so simply with a little salt and very little oil. This is a sausage with a raw mixture, obtained with pork meat like the shoulder and ham, prized parts, and the addition of lard or fat. After grinding the meat, salt, fennel seeds, pepper, and in some cases, chili pepper are added.

Preparation

  • I removed the casing from the luganega and cut it into pieces to make small meatballs.

  • I prepared about thirty small meatballs.

  • I also added the flour directly into the pan

  • By shaking the pan back and forth, all the meatballs were coated with flour.

  • Very little oil is needed in the pan to fry the meatballs.

  • Meanwhile, in the microwave, I cooked the eggplants cut into sticks. Crispy mode for 15 minutes.

  • With twenty minutes of cooking in the pan, the sausage meatballs are ready

  • Of course, you can also use other vegetables to accompany the luganega like potatoes, mushrooms, or peppers and more.

in cucina con pina

My name is Pina, and my passion is food and cooking in general. On the blog, I focus on regional dishes like those from my birthplace, Sicily. I also feature dishes from Lazio, the region that has hosted me for over 40 years, but in general, I cover all Italian regions. Traveling and exploring is my second passion, so I couldn't leave out dishes from around the "World" on my blog. My blog is divided into simple and essential sections like appetizers, first courses, main courses, side dishes, bread and leavened products, jams and preserves, wines and wineries, and of course, travels. Desserts are included, and finally, there is a dedicated corner for gluten-free options. Easy recipes, explained step by step and always updated.
