Lentil Ricotta

This recipe comes from www.injennieskitchen.com I haven't tried it. The recipe requires 2 hr chill time Every step of the way I kept getting pleasantly surprised while making these. The real moment of truth was when I simmered them in some marinara sauce. I was worried they would fall apart, but they stood up to a good soaking to my sheer delight. The recipe requires 2 hr chill time

Time 40m

Yield 18 balls, 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups cooked lentils, pureed
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2/3 cup plain breadcrumbs
1/2 cup fresh ricotta
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped parsley
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
canola oil (for frying)
marinara sauce (optional)

Steps:

  • Add all ingredients to a deep bowl. Mix very well, using hands or a wooden spoon. Cover and refrigerate for two hours or overnight.
  • When ready to cook, shape mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls. Heat about 1/2-inch of oil in a nonstick skillet over medium flame. Add shaped "meatballs" and cook until browned all around, turning only once. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and let excess drain off. Add to simmering marinara sauce if serving immediately, or store in a tightly covered container up to three days.

These meatballs were okay, but I've had better. I think I would prefer a traditional meatball recipe.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my meatballs turned out really bland. I think I might have forgotten to add the spices.

These meatballs were a little too dry for my taste. I think I would add more ricotta cheese next time.

These meatballs were easy to make and turned out great! I used a food processor to chop the lentils, which saved me a lot of time. I also added a little bit of grated Parmesan cheese to the ricotta mixture, which gave them an extra cheesy flavor.
