My husband made these bbq lentil and mushroom balls for me because I really wanted spaghetti and meatballs.
I was a little sceptical as I hate mushrooms but these are so tasty and I can't recommend them enough!
If you're looking for ways to get your children to eat mushrooms (as my mother often did with myself and my siblings) this is the perfect way!
Every person that has tried them has loved them!
Ingredients:
½ cup Basmati Rice
½ cup (2 small) Onions (finely chopped)
1 tbsp Chia Seeds
2 tbsp Water
1 tbsp Olive Oil
2 cups (8-10 Large) Button Mushrooms (finely chopped)
15 oz Lentils (cooked/prepared)
⅛ cup Fresh Coriander (chopped)
¼ tsp Garlic Granules
1 tsp Basil
⅔ cup Rolled Oats
2-3 tbsp BBQ Sauce
2 tbsp Vegan Worcestershire Sauce
Method:
* First of all, cook the rice, this can be done in 12 minutes with a pan of boiling water, once the pan is at a rolling boil, add some salt, then the rice, stir and turn the heat down to a simmer, set a timer for 12 minutes.
* While the rice is cooking, Preheat the oven to 180C and then place the chia seeds and water in a little bowl and mix before setting aside.
* In a frying pan heat up the olive oil, once up to temperature add the onions and mushrooms, frying until soft, and again set these aside.
* Now in a food processor place the rice, the onion/mushroom mix, chia seeds, oats, coriander, salt, garlic, basil, 2 tbsp of BBQ sauce (more if you like the taste) and Worcestershire sauce and blend until combined.
* Make sure to taste the mix before you shape it into balls, in case you need more flavour or seasoning, and if the mix is too wet place it in the fridge for 30 minutes.
* Form the mixture into the size balls you want and place on a baking sheet in the centre of the oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway to crisp them up evenly.
Serve hot or cold
Enjoy!
