INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup cooked lentils (~100g)
100g white button mushrooms
1/4 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs (~30g)
4 egg whites (~132g)
1/4 cup chopped onion (~40g)
1 clove garlic
1/2 cup marinara sauce (~125g)
1 tsp olive oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Finely chop the mushrooms, onion, and garlic. In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant, then add mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and begin to brown.
In a large bowl, combine the sautéed vegetables with cooked lentils, breadcrumbs, and egg whites. Season with salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly until the mixture comes together.
Form the mixture into small meatballs, about 12-15 pieces depending on desired size.
Place the meatballs on a lightly greased baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until firm and slightly browned on the edges.
Meanwhile, warm the marinara sauce in a saucepan over low heat.
Serve the meatballs hot with a generous spoonful of marinara sauce on top, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
