I always find ways to make meatless Monday happen in our house, however, it has been getting more challenging as my son would not eat vegetables. I tried to hide vegetables in other things in hope that he will just eat a few bites. Tonight, another meatless meal that is kid friendly, vegetarian meatballs and baked yam fries.
Ingredients
* 1 tablespoon oil
* 1 eggplant, cube
* 8 oz mushroom, cube
* 1 cup quinoa
* 2 eggs
* 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
* 2 cloves garlic, minced
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
* pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
* 1 teaspoon dry basil
* 1 teaspoon dry parsley
* 1 cup bread crumb
* Marinara sauce
* Ricotta cheese
Directions:
1) Preheat the oven to 400F.
2) Heat oil in a large saucepan, cook eggplant and mushroom until soften. Drain excessive juices, put the vegetables in a food processor and ground until coarse or to the texture of your liking.
3) In a large mixing bowl, mix the cooked vegetables, quinoa, eggs, Parmesan cheese, garlic, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, basil, parsely and bread crumbs. Add more bread crumbs if needed to get the consistencies close to normal meatball. Form the mixture into balls and place them on a slightly greased baking sheet, then bake for 20 mins.
4) Serve with marinara sauce and ricotta cheese. Enjoy!
