Cuisine Italian

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cooked black rice
  • 1 cup cooked black beans
  • 1 tbsp mixed Italian spice
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • 1/4 cup chick pea or almond flour
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp liquid smoke
  • 1 tbsp flax meal mixed with 3 tbsp water allow to gel up for a few minutes first

Instructions
 

  • Place all the ingredients into the blender and pulse and mix well.
  • It will be a thick paste so only mix for about a minute.
    You might have to keep scraping the sides down a few times in-between mixing.
  • Remove mixture and shape into balls. I used an ice cream scooper aprox 2 inch circumference. Make any size you like just adjust your bake time accordingly.
  • Heat oven to 400F/200C and bake for aprox 30 min taking turns to turn them a few times half way.
  • Remove from oven and add to your favourite sauce and spaghetti.

Notes

I hope you enjoy this one. It is a healthy version filled with protein and fibre.
 
Cheers
