    This isn’t vegan though. Isn’t Worcester sauce made with fish or something? Is there a vegan alternative?

    Hi Eunice,
    it´s vegan. You can buy vegan worcester sauce. In Amazon (recipe link) or supermarket. Alternative you can use 1 tsp miso paste.

    Can you make the eggplant meatballs in advance? Let’s say I make them in the afternoon and decide to bake them in the evening? Would that work? Also, is the food processor necessary?
