Tamari-Ginger Meatball & Eggplant Casserole

Great recipe. I didn't roast the eggplant, just sautéed in oil for 8 minutes or so. I also added about 1 tsp of sambal galeek to the meatballs as we like a little more spice. Definitely a keeper.

Just made and ate this...delicious! had no eggplant so used zucchini. the flavors are perfect and the cilantro and peanuts make the dish. we had to grind our own pork for the meatballs but it was worth the effort.

This was delicious! Followed the recipe as written, used Sherry instead of rice wine. Served with steamed Jasmine rice.

Absolutely delicious! Made exactly as stated except subed pinot noir for sherry because that's all I could find at my local shop. Would not change a thing. A bit time consuming but now that I know how to make it the next time will come together quickly. Definitely a keeper!

This was delicious! I made as per the instructions except I used low sodium soy sauce as I have not yet found tamari in a supermarket. I made the meatballs smaller than 3 tablespoons and served more to each plate...husband loved it and suggested it is a good dish for entertaining! Will pair with noodles and egg rolls for guests!

This was absolutely delicious. The flavor was a little bit sweet and savory. The eggplant was a perfect compliment to the meatballs. Wasn't heavy tasting at all. Fairly easy to make for a weeknight which I did. This is definitely something I would make again.

Let me say I don't think I can fairly rate this recipe because of the changes I made. I am new to Eating Well, so I have things in the freezer I am trying to use up. I grew up poor and HATE to throw away food. Therefore, I used Costco frozen meatballs, which wasn't the best choice because they are Italian. Since I wasn't frying the meatballs dredged in cornstarch, I added the ginger, garlic, white pepper, and 2 T. cornstarch to the sauce. It was very thick. When I added it to the meatballs, and the meatballs to the eggplant, it just didn't seem saucy enough. When I put it back into the oven for the last 15 minutes, it smelled like it might be burning, so I took it out and added a little more tamari. Considering everything I did differently, it really wasn't too bad. Hubby and I both agreed that it would probably be better with the meatballs in the recipe. So I will make it again that way next time. I served it with jasmine rice.

This was delicious! Cooked exactly as directed. Great flavors and quite filling. Served with rice. My husband also loved it and asked for it to be "in the rotation."

This recipe was great - tasty and easy to prepare. I couldn't find japanese eggplant so used regular ones. The meatballs were too large (used 3 tablespoons as suggested in recipe) so next time I'll make them about half that size. I had the leftovers today and they were just as good as the first day.
