#meatlessmeatball

These vegan meatball burgers are hearty, healthy, and incredibly delicious. They're made with a combination of quinoa, black beans, oats, walnuts, and spices, then baked to perfection. Serve them on whole grain buns with lettuce, tomato, and vegan mayo for a satisfying meal that will please vegans and non-vegans alike.

Ingredients: 1 cup cooked quinoa. 1 can 15 oz black beans, drained and rinsed. 1/2 cup rolled oats. 1/4 cup chopped walnuts. 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley. 2 tablespoons tomato paste. 1 tablespoon soy sauce. 1 teaspoon garlic powder. 1 teaspoon onion powder. 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika. 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. 4 whole grain burger buns. Lettuce, tomato slices, and vegan mayo, for serving.

Instructions: Warm the oven up to 375F 190C and put parchment paper on a baking sheet. Boil the quinoa and put it in a food processor. Add the black beans, oats, walnuts, parsley, tomato paste, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper. The mixture should come together but still have some chunks in it after being pulsed. Take the mixture and roll it into 12 meatballs. Then, put them on the baking sheet that has been prepared. Put the meatballs in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the outside is firm and a little crispy. Put some lettuce leaves and tomato slices on the bottom half of each bun before putting the burgers together. Spread vegan mayo on the top half of each bun and then add three meatballs to each one. Serve right away.

What is Polpette? It is a ball of ground meat, fish or vegetables. It is covered with flour or breadcrumbs and then fried in oil. How do you make meatless Polpette? Easy. You can make any kind of Polpette, as long as you have enough imagination and you know how to pair ingredients. The sky is the limit! My kids love meatballs, but since I am trying to be a good mom, I am reinventing recipes to make my kids eat more vegetables. So I decided to make meatballs without meat for my kids! LOL What is the easiest way to make Polpette? I used 4 eggplants, cut into small cubes, added red onion cut into small cubes and garlic cloves. I put all my ingredients together in a bowl and poured some vegetable oil on them. I mixed carefully, added the spices and spread the vegetables onto a baking sheet. I placed that baking sheet into the oven for 35 minutes at 375 degrees. While it was cooking I went back to work ;) After 35 minutes, you need to let it cool until you are ready to roll the balls and fry them for supper! When you are ready to roll them, put all the cooled vegetables into a bowl, add the eggs, the breadcrumbs, and the cheeses, and mix carefully with a wooden spoon. To make the balls, take some of that mixture and roll it into a ball. I usually have 2 plates in addition to the bowl: one for the breadcrumbs and one for rolled balls. I roll with my hands, then cover the ball with the breadcrumbs and place it onto the other plate ready to be cooked! That's it! It takes about 15 minutes to roll them all and at most 15 minutes to fry.
