Lentil Meatballs


This recipe is a semi-fail. These meatballs held together much better than the last ones, but they tasted a little more like falafel than meatballs. Yes. They tasted like falafel on spaghetti, which wasn't a terrible taste, but not really what I was going for either.

One day, friends. I promise I'll find that vegetarian meatball recipe yet.

1 cup dry lentils
2 shallots
1-2 cloves garlic
3 tablespoons parsley
2 tablespoons chives
salt and red pepper flakes to taste
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons seasoned bread crumbs
1 egg, beaten

Cook the lentils, then puree them. Allow them to cool, then combine with the remaining ingredients. Form into balls and fry them in neutral oil in a hot skillet.
