Vegan Meatballs with Sauce

 

 

A delicious replacement for meat! You can have the meatballs, but without the meat! Easy to cook and also very healthy for all you out there having a high cholesterol. I also tried it together with pasta and decorated with parmesan, it’s a great option!

 

 

Ingredients for the meatballs:

• 300 g of red beans, boiled
• 300 g of chickpeas, boiled
• 1 medium yellow onion, minced
• 1 handful of minced dill
• 100 g of steamed rice
• 1 medium carrot, shredded
• 50 g of beetroot, shredded
• 50 g of celery root, shredded
• salt, white pepper

 

Ingredients for the sauce:

• 2 medium red onions, minced
• 3 garlic cloves, crushed
• 10 tablespoons of tomato paste, or the pulp from 5 large ripe tomatoes
• condiments

 

Preparation:

• Mix the ingredients for the meatballs by using a food processor. Form tiny spheres and cook them in a pre-heated oven at 180 C for approximately 30-40 min.
• For the sauce, fry in one tablespoon of olive oil the onions and garlic for approximately 4 minutes. Add the 10 tablespoons of tomato paste (or fresh tomatoes, depending on what you have) and fry, stirring gently for approximately 10 minutes. Add salt, pepper and condiments to taste.
• You can also serve it with pasta (optional).
