These versatile and undeniably tasty morsels are a great alternative to traditional meatballs, and an easy way to up your vegetable intake.

Serve either as a vegetarian spaghetti bolognese, dipped in a variety of sauces or dips as a starter, paired with a simple fresh salad, or in a wrap or crusty baguette.



Preparation Time: 40 minutes
Cooking Time: 30 minutes
Makes: about 24 'meatballs'

Ingredients
420g can red kidney beans, rinsed
1 red capsicum, washed, cut roughly
6 spring onions, roughly chopped
1 tbsp soy sauce
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tsp ginger, grated
3 tbsp canned/ fresh tomatoes, roughly chopped
1 cup oats (plus extra for consistency)
freshly ground black pepper

olive oil, to coat

Method
  • In a food processor, blitz the kidney beans until a rough meal is formed.

  • Add the remaining ingredients (excluding the oil) and process to a well chopped (but not completely blended) consistency.

  • Preheat oven to 175C. Roll mixture into walnut sized balls, and cover loosely with cling film. Freeze for 20 minutes to allow to harden.

  • On a lined baking tray, spread the balls out evenly and drizzle with a little olive oil.

  • Bake for about 30 minutes or until browned and cooked through. Serve either hot or cool as desired.
