Vegetarian Meatballs

My kids and I love these vegetarian meatballs!  This one is actually my recipe that I’ve developed after trying out and altering other ones I’ve found.

Ingredients

2 cans adzuki beans

1 cup bulgur wheat

2 cups vegetable broth

1 cup dried bread crumbs

1 diced onion

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon coriander

1 teaspoon cumin

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon salt

1/2 tablespoon pepper

3 eggs beaten

Recipe

1.Put the two cups of vegetable broth and 1 cup bulgur wheat in a saucepan and bring to a boil.  Once it boils, lower to a simmer and let simmer for 12 minutes or until all the broth is absorbed.

2. Saute the diced onion in the olive oil.

3. In a food process mix the beans, cooked bulgur, onions and spices.  Transfer the mix to a bowl.  Mix in the eggs and then mix in the bread crumbs.

4.  Mold mixture into small balls and place the balls onto a cooking tray lined with parchment paper.

5. Broil on high for 5 minutes, flip and then broil on high for another 5 minutes.

I cooked 34 of these today, each one came to 67 calories.
