Sounds delicious... #Repost @eat_to_live_uk • • • • • • SEBIAN SPAGHETTI & MEATBALLS See video for quick instructions, or see below What's in it:- * 1/4 cup cooked quinoa + 1/4 cup spring water * 425g (15 oz) cooked chickpeas * 1/2 cup chopped onion (or 75 g) * 6-8 tbsp mild or medium home-made salsa (plum tomatoes, oregano, onions, cayenne to taste, seeded lime juice, and avocado oil) * 1 tablespoon dried basil * 1 tablespoon dried thyme * 1-2 teaspoons regular cayenne pepper (optional) * 1/2 teaspoon + 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt * 1/2 cup spelt flour * Cooked spelt spaghetti & seasoned tomato sauce How To Prepare:- 1. In a food processor, add chickpeas and onion and pulse for a few seconds (refer to video for visual). 2. Add all of the remaining ingredients,except the quinoa and spelt flour. Pulse for just a few seconds, no more, just until the mixture resembles a wet rough chunky texture similar to a salsa. You don't want to over-blend and puree it too much or the balls will be too wet/mushy (refer to video for visual). You just want to make sure the chickpeas are no longer whole. 3. Add the mixture to a large bowl and add the cooked quinoa and spelt flour. Stir for a few minutes until it all comes together in a sticky batter. Press the mixture repeatedly with the back of your spoon to make it come together. If the mixture is not sticking together, add a bit of the remaining salsa only if necessary. Once it is well mixed, place to chill in the fridge for about 20 minutes. This will make it easier to roll into balls. 4. Preheat your oven to 190C (375F) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Roll about 14 golf-sized balls with your hands, making sure they are tight and compact and place on the pan. Bake for 15 minutes on the first side, they should easily turn over. Flip them over. Bake another 15 minutes until firm and getting a nice golden brown crust. If you want them super crispy, go another 5 minutes. These balls are very moist inside so they can withstand the crispy exterior. 5. While they are baking, heat up your pasta and tomato sauce of choice! When the balls are done, coat them well with lots of sauce and pasta ...and enjoy! #emahshae #emahs (at Houston, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxd8jStDLkz/?igshid=7oztsaiszbt0
