Tried this recipe from vegweb.com on my family this weekend. I am the only one interested in eating them. They are kinda weird and very "bread-y" but my first experience with lentils was not a total disaster. Warning: while being cooked, lentils smell like pee. While being mashed, lentils look like poo. Soooo, not incredibly appetizing. A veg co-worker recommended Trader Joe's meatless meatballs so I might do that next time. I just liked the idea of not having soy all the time! Anywho, recipe below.
Amazing Lentil Meatballs (No Soy)
Ingredients:
2 cups lentils
1 cup oats
1 cup corn meal
salt and pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons onion powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
vegetable oil, for frying
Directions:
1. Cook lentils according to directions. Use a masher to mash up the lentils to make more of a paste. Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
2. Add everything else except oil, form into balls, and lightly fry.
3. Transfer to oven to finish, about 10-15 minutes.
