In a food processor, blend the cremini mushrooms, garlic, and onion until finely chopped.
In a large bowl, combine the processed vegetables with cooked lentils, rolled oats, chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, and crumbled tofu.
Season the mixture with salt, pepper, and any dried herbs you prefer. If using, fold in the chopped fresh basil.
Using your hands, form the mixture into 8 small meatballs, ensuring a uniform size for even cooking.
