Ingredients
- 1 cup uncooked lentils
- 1/2 cup uncooked quinoa
- 1/4 cup gluten-free oatmeal
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
- 1/4 cup BBQ sauce (for meatballs)
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
- 1 cup BBQ sauce (for later)
Preparation
Cook quinoa and lentils according to package instructions. You can even do this the day before.
Once the quinoa and lentils are cooked, combine with the oats and nutritional yeast in a food processor. Pulse until well combined.
Add the mixture to a bowl along with the spices, BBQ sauce, and coconut aminos.
Mix together with a spatula until a dough forms.
Heat a skillet over medium low heat.
Once the skillet is hot, form balls with the dough, add a little oil to the skillet, then add the balls. Cook for 6 minutes, rotate, and cook for 6-8 more minutes until the outsides are browned.
Turn down to a simmer, then add 1 cup marinara sauce and 1/4 cup water.
Let simmer for 3-4 minutes.
