You’ve never eaten lentils like this before. Better than any meatball!
This vegan dish is simply perfect when you’re really craving home-cooked meals, but vegan!
Today I’m showing you my recipe for spicy lentil meatballs with super creamy mashed potatoes and a hearty onion gravy that doesn’t require any meat. I always make this combination when I need a warm, filling, and healthy dish. The lentils provide you with plant-based protein, the mashed potatoes are wonderfully smooth, and the gravy perfectly rounds everything off. You can also easily prepare and freeze the meatballs, making them ideal for meal prep!
📋 INGREDIENTS: For the lentil patties: • 200g brown or green lentils (1 cup uncooked, yields about 2 cups cooked) • 1 small onion, finely chopped • 1 garlic clove, finely chopped • 1 carrot, grated • 2 tbsp oatmeal • 2 tbsp breadcrumbs • 1 tbsp tomato paste • 1 tsp mustard • Salt, pepper, paprika • Oil for frying For the mashed potatoes: • 600g floury potatoes (about 1.3 lbs / 4 cups roughly diced) • 100ml oat or soy milk (about ⅓ cup + 1 tbsp) • 1-2 tbsp vegan butter • Salt, nutmeg For the onion sauce: • 2 onions • 1 tbsp flour • 250ml vegetable broth (approx. 1 cup) • 1 tsp soy sauce • Oil, salt, pepper
