Date: 27/04/2020

Lentils, the hidden gem. Not only are these one of the most versatile, low carb and high protein sources, but they are also incredibly powerful for your cognitive function and digestion. Let me wow you with an alternative baked meatball. Not to mention a super delicious and nutritious tangy tomato sauce.

Lentil Meatballs with Burst Tomato Sauce

INGREDIENTS
11/2 cup cooked brown or green lentils (you can totally use an organic canned version if you are not confident cooking them yourself.
¼ cooked brown rice
2-3 Tbsp. tomato paste
1 large red capsicum finely chopped
1/3 cup diced red onion
1 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup shredded celery
½ cup Besan/buckwheat or Quinoa flour
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1 tsp smoked paprika
2 Tbsp nutritional yeast
2 Tbsp Fresh shredded parsley
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Sauce
Find your fav tomato base and use it as the sauce.
Or Make your own!

1 can organic crushed toms
1 large clove garlic
1-2 Tbsp Balsamic vinegar
1-2 Tbsp Tamari or GF free soy or Braggs amino seasoning
1/4 tsp Cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp mixed herbs
A good twist of pepper
mix in a blender or food processor and you’re done
if you want to you can fry off one onion and the garlic first but not a must! K.I.S.S

(please read the whole recipe first as there are a few options)
Serving option 1:
8 whole-wheat pita or GF Wraps
2 tablespoons minced fresh basil
1 cup cucumber slices
1 cup grated carrot
1 cup grated beetroot
1 Bunch lettuce

Serving option 2: Veggie Noodles!
Grab yourself one of those nifty spiral cutters or you can use a good old peeler for ribbons.
1 carrot
1 zucchini
1 cup baby spinach
Go to town…this can take you around 15-20 mins. It’s a bit of work. Place the prepared veg into a large bowl.
Now as I do you I will give you 2 options
Boil the kettle and just as you pull the meatballs out of the oven and cover the veggie noodles (or leave them raw). Place the spinach into a large bowl, remove the veggie noodles and place atop the spinach and a good lashing of the sauce. Give them a gentle mix through with thongs and place mix onto a serving dish and top with 4 meat balls. Add desired extra sauce and a sprinkle of Vegan Parmesan Cheese (most wholefood stores and health stores have this) and a sprinkle of your fav herbs.
Throw it all into a bowl, balls and all mix and serve with a sprinkle of vegan parmesan and herbs of choice. (I love fresh basil, oregano or chives)

INSTRUCTIONS
Heat olive oil in a non-stick heavy pan over medium-low heat and add the red onion. Cook until onion is translucent and fragrant, 6 to 8 minutes. Add all herbs and spices and stir through until fragrant. Stir in the garlic and celery, capsicum and for another 3 to 4 minutes.
In a food processor, combine the lentils, onion mixture, flour and nutritional yeast. Pulse a few times to start combining the mixture. Set aside and let rest while the oven preheats to 190 Deg.
Combine all sauce ingredients and blitz.
Place into a pot and bring to a simmer for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Take the lentil mixture and roll into 12 balls, roughly the size of a golfball. Place on a baking tray covered with good quality baking paper and brush with oil of choice.
Bake meatballs until browning and crisp, 25 to 30 minutes.
Allow to cool a little.
