Vegan Gefilte Fish

OK, so this doesn't really taste too much like the real thing.  But it tastes great and looks real! 

2 large onions, chopped
2 large potatoes, peeled
vegetable oil (canola is best)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 large eggplant
paprika
2-3 tbsp. fresh parsley, chopped
ground black pepper
salt
1-2 tbs nutritional yeast (optional-leave out for Passover!)
matzo meal
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. Boil the potatoes until they are just beginning to get soft
  3. Fry the onions in 1-2 tbs. of oil until they are lightly browned.
  4. Cut off the ends of the eggplant and slice lengthwise. Brush with a little of the oil, and place in the oven. Poke the skin in a few places. Bake the eggplant about 20-30 minutes until the skin begins to wrinkle. Carefully remove from the oven and scoop out the flesh into a bowl.
  5. Lower oven temperature to 325°F.
  6. Mash the potatoes, add the eggplant, onion, nutritional yeast, garlic, chopped parsley, and season to taste with salt, paprika and pepper. Add matzo meal to make a firm consistency (the mix should hold together but not be too hard).
  7. After wetting your hands, make patties with the mixture-about 2 inches across and 1/2-1 inch thick works well. Place on oiled baking pans and brush each patty with some oil. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes until they are just brown.
  8. The gefilte "fish" is great hot or cold and with any of your favorite toppings.
