Number Of Ingredients 12

Quinoa Meatballs:
1 cup Quinoa
3 cups Water
1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley (chopped)
Â½ teaspoon Onion Powder
Â¼ teaspoon Garlic Powder
Â½ teaspoon Sea Salt
Â¼ teaspoon Freshly Cracked Black Pepper
To Serve:
1 tablespoon EV Olive Oil
1 jar (24 oz) Tomato Sauce (bonus points if you make it yourself, here is my quick recipe)
Â½ cup Vegan Mozzarella Cheese (I used Daiya)

Steps:

In a medium pot bring the quinoa and water to a boil
Turn the heat to low and place a lid on the pot
Set a timer for 30 minutes
When the timer goes off remove the pot from the heat and use a spoon to stir the quinoa until it sticks together and starts forming an almost dough like texture
Add the parsley, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper
Stir until thoroughly combined
Allow the mixture to cool for about 5 minutes (lid off) or until you can handle it safely
Form the quinoa into meatballs (I got about 20 meatballs)
In a large oven safe pan (itâs going under the broiler) add the oil and the meatballs
Cook on medium heat, turning the meatballs occasionally to get evenly browned
Top the meatballs with the sauce, heat until the sauce is warm
Top with the cheese and place under the broiler until the cheese is melted
Serve and enjoy!!
