Preparation steps

1.

Cook the rice in salted water according to package directions. Drain and let cool.

2.

While the rice is cooking, rinse eggplant, pat dry and pierce with a fork several times. Bake on middle rack of preheated oven at 200°C (fan 180°C; gas: mark 3) (approximately 400°F) until eggplant skin begins to bubble and the flesh feels soft, about 20 minutes. Let cool, remove skin and mash the eggplant with a fork.

3.

Peel and finely chop shallot and garlic. Rinse parsley, shake dry, pluck leaves, and finely chop. Combine shallot, garlic, and parsley with the oil. Add breadcrumbs, rice, and eggplant until a moldable mixture is formed. Season with lime juice, salt, and pepper.

4.

Rinse limes in hot water, pat dry and cut into thin slices.

5.

Form mixture into small balls. Thread a lime slice and then a rice ball onto a wooden skewer. Serve on a platter.
