Steps
Lentil Meatballs
- In a small bowl, mix together the ground flaxseed and water to make the flax egg. Set aside.
- In a medium pot, cook the lentils according to package instructions until tender. Drain and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked lentils, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, salt, pepper, and paprika.
- Add the flax egg to the mixing bowl and mix well, using a fork or your hands to break up any large lentil pieces and combine all ingredients.
- Form the mixture into small meatballs, using about 2-3 tablespoons of mixture for each one. You should get around 20-24 meatballs.
- Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the meatballs and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned and crispy. Work in batches, if needed, to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Remove the meatballs from the pan and set aside on a plate lined with paper towel, to soak up any excess oil.
- Serve the lentil meatballs with tomato sauce and pasta, rice, or any other side dish you like.
Tomato Sauce
- In a large non-stick pan, heat some olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for a few minutes, until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
- Add the tomato passata, dried basil, salt, and pepper to the pan. Stir well to combine.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 10-15 minutes, until it thickens and reduces slightly.
- Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning, if needed.
- Once ready, serve the tomato sauce with the lentil meatballs and pasta, rice, or any other side dish you like.
