Lentil Meatballs Recipe
It is not always easy to achieve 100% plant-based balls or patties that hold together well without crumbling. Thanks to acacia gum, the balls hold perfectly, even though this recipe contains neither egg nor gluten!
Ingredients
4 Olive oil
1 Onion
2 cloves Garlic
300 Cooked lentils
100 Oats (gluten-free if desired)
2 Tomato paste
1 Dried thyme
1 Smoked paprika (optional)
Salt
Pepper
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 200°C (gas mark 7).
2
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a small saucepan and sauté the peeled and minced onion for 3 minutes until golden. Add the peeled and crushed garlic, and cook for another minute.
3
Reduce the flakes to powder in the blender bowl, mix with the acacia gum.
4
Add the garlic and onion, the lentils (rinsed and well-drained if they are from a jar), the tomato paste, the tamari, the dried thyme, paprika if desired, ½ teaspoon of salt, and a few turns of the pepper mill.
5
Pulse the mixture to retain some texture without completely pureeing it.
6
Form balls the size of a large walnut, brush them with oil, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7
To finish, cook for 20 minutes, then serve with tomato sauce, on a plate of pasta, alongside a vegetable stir-fry, etc.
