Ingredients

The following ingredients have 3 Servings
  • 1 bag prepared brown and wild rice, such as Uncle Ben’s (about 2 cups cooked)
  • 1 cup cooked lentils
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 3 tablespoons seasoned breadcrumbs
  • olive oil
  • marinara or tomato sauce
  • cheese

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Mix rice and lentils in a bowl with the garlic and cumin. Add the flour and breadcrumbs. The mixture will be crumbly.
  • Fill a bowl with warm water. Dip your hands in the water; with wet hands, form the crumbly mixture into small egg shaped balls. Add a few drops of oil or water to each meatball as you shape it to help it stick together. Place meatballs on a baking sheet and top each with a knob of oil.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, turning and adding more drizzles of oil as necessary.
  • When toasted on the outside and warmed through, remove from oven and place individual oven-safe bowls. Cover with tomato sauce and cheese and bake on high broil (or microwave) until heated through and cheese is melted.
