Swedish Meatless Balls (Plant based)

Описание: These meatless balls are Swedish inspired and delicious!

Swedish Meatless Balls

2 cups sliced mushrooms sauted
1 small onion chopped sauted
1 cup of canned or cooked brown lentils
1-2 tbsp. garlic powder
1 tsp dried parsley
Pinch of allspice
(nutmeg too if you're feeling bold!😜)
2 tbsp low sodium sauce
1 tsp spicy mustard ( or 1 scant tbsp)
Salt ( or salt substitute) & pepper to taste
3/4 cup gf or regular whole wheat breadcrumbs
( you can add less about 1/2 cup depending on how wet your mixture is.)
(I wouldn't recommend "gf" if you're baking them WFPB no oil)
OR
¾ cup oat flour (I believe this may work better for WFPB no oil )
1-2 runny flax eggs (if u add 3/4 of breadcrumbs use 2 flax eggs= 2 Tbsp of ground flaxseed +5-6 Tbsp water)


Sauté your onions and mushrooms I chopped them roughly while in the pan cook in a little good quality veggie broth( or oil if you aren't oil free).
In your food processor add your onions, lentils and mushrooms and pulse until you get a mincemeat texture.
Put the filling/mixture in a bowl and mix in the spices, and condiments (note: the "Mustard" add tanginess so add according to your taste buds) and add breadcrumbs or oat flour.
I added 2 flax eggs for maximum binding. Form "meatballs".

Baking/Cooking Instructions


For Oil-Free
Bake at 425F on parchment lined or greased pan for 20-25 minutes flipping midway.
OR
On the stovetop shallow fry/sear in pan with a little oil, finish off in the oven at 350F 10-12 minutes, for crisper turn heat up to 400 and cook for 3-5 more minutes.

You can also bake them sprayed with a little oil spray.


Here's my gravy I used in the video ( recipe not filmed)

Serve them smothered in your favorite gravy or the one provided on pasta or a bed of mashed potatoes.
