Ingredients
- 1 can (8 ounce) garbanzo beans (chickpeas)
- 1 can (8 ounce) black beans
- 1 cup oats
- 25 grams yellow onion (1/4 of 1 onion)
- 2 teaspoon Italian herbs
- 20 grams flax seed (2 tablespoons)
- 7 tablespoons water
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon Italian herbs
- 4 cans (32 ounces) tomato sauce (each can 8 oz)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
How to Make
-
Step 1: Mix the flax seed with the water and let sit.
-
Step 2: This makes the egg substitute and you will see it turn into a similar consistency after 10 minutes.
-
Step 3: Preheat the oven to 450F.
-
Step 4: Mix the oats in the food processor and set aside.
-
Step 5: Add the drained and washed chickpeas + black beans into a food processor and blend.
-
Step 6: Slowly add some water but only enough to get it into a paste.
-
Step 7: Add the herbs and onion to the blender.
-
Step 8: Now move the paste into a mixing bowl and add the flaxseed egg and start with 1/2 cup ground oats.
-
Step 9: If the mix is very sticky add more ground oats and stir until you are able to form the balls.
-
Step 10: Form either 10 large balls, or 15-20 smaller ones.
-
Step 11: Move into the oven for 15 minutes.
-
Step 12: Smaller balls probably need only 10 minutes.
