I am so frustrated by the Eggplant Burger Patty recipe - what does 3-4 pieces of eggplant and 1 pieces of small red onion mean? Please email me to [email protected]. thank you. I want to make this recipe and can't make it until I hear from you.

I'm CSID. No starch and always on look out for starch free recipes. Egg plant is brilliant. But will ditch the breadcrumbs for flax meal or chia. Thank you.
