Lentil Neatballs

I love Neatballs; they go with everything! These Lentil Neatballs are versatile and easy.

How many vegan meatball recipes does a person need to have? Turns out 1 or even two is not nearly enough. So, I plan on adding each incarnation I come up with. You’ll be sure to let me know if I go overboard. Deal?

Lentils as I’ve mentioned in other posts are super little powerhouses. They’re packed with fibre, iron and protein making them a vegans dream food. Rinsing them is a must. Today I made a cup of lentils and picked out at least 10 little stones. Nobody needs to be breaking a tooth now do we?? 

My ‘neat’balls have been given quite a bit of attention from all the big feature accounts. I guess I’m not the only one who loves a good ball. Next time I make them I plan on freezing a batch because they’re a perfect mid-week need in a pinch kind of meal.

These, like all my recipes are easy to execute, take little time and of course super tasty! 

Let’s make some balls!!!
