INGREDIENTS
1 cup Cooked Lentils (198g)
1 cup Button Mushrooms, chopped (70g)
1/4 cup Rolled Oats (20g)
1 large Egg (50g)
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce (125g)
1 Garlic Clove, minced
1 tablespoon Fresh Basil, chopped
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
In a food processor, combine the cooked lentils, chopped mushrooms, rolled oats, garlic, egg, and fresh basil. Pulse until the mixture is well combined but still retains some texture; avoid over-processing.
Season the mixture with salt and pepper. Adjust the seasoning to your taste.
With damp hands, form the mixture into small meatballs (about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter) and place them evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the meatballs are firm and lightly browned.
Meanwhile, warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat.
Serve the hot lentil-mushroom meatballs drizzled with marinara sauce, garnished with additional fresh basil if desired.
