Ok, so I know this probably sounds very wrong. But, it's actually pretty good! While I generally like meat substitutes, these meatballs don't taste all that much like meat, but more like a cheesy kinda thing. Good nonetheless.
Here's the recipe(from injennieskitchen.com):
2 cups cooked lentils, pureed
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2/3 cup plain breadcrumbs
1/2 cup fresh ricotta
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 teaspoon chopped parsley
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Canola oil for frying
Add all ingredients to a deep bowl. Mix very well, using hands or a wooden spoon. Cover and refrigerate for two hours or overnight.
Make 1.5 inch balls with the lentil mixture.
Fry in a 1/2 inch of canola oil until each side is brown. Drain on paper towels.
Serve with:
Marinara sauce
1 lb Cooked Pasta
Crusty Baguette
There you have it. Meatless meatballs. Who knew?
