BEANBALLS (VEGGIE BALLS)
Servings: 10-12
Difficulty: Medium
Cooking time: 15-20 minutes
Prep time: 15 minutes
400g boiled red beans or any bean works great
8 mushrooms
2 red onions
2 cloves of garlic
1 tsp cumin
1 egg
2 tsps meatball mix (etsy.me/3ZdvF3V)
1 tsp black pepper
8-9 tbsp breadcrumbs
1 levelled tsp mustard
1 cup boiled corn
½ bunch of parsley, chopped
1 tsp salt
• Pulse mushrooms and one of the red onions in a food processor. Pulsing is important for the chopping otherwise they can get puree.
• Brown the chopped mushrooms and onions in a large pan with 3-4 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt, for 10-12 minutes on high heat. Then, set aside to cooldown.
• Chop the other red onion and garlic in the processor without making a puree, add red beans, breadcrumbs, and pulse again. Add boiled corn, mustard, cumin, meatball mix, salt and black pepper and give it a last mix.
• Add egg, parsley and cooled red onion-mushroom mixture in and knead. If the mixture feels soft and sticky, feel free to add breadcrumbs or rest the mixture for a couple of hours if you have time.
• Wet your hands and shape the mixture into balls or long finger shaped meatballs. Shallow fry in sunflower oil or any cooking oil.
• You can enjoy your vegetarian meatballs, which are crispy outside, soft and juicy inside with garlic yoghurt and salad!

If you are vegan or lacto-vegetarian, you can replace the egg by boiling 1T of flax seeds in 4 of water, until it becomes the consistency of egg whites, and then strain the seeds. Or just add a few tablespoon of chickpea flour!

Yum! More vegan and vegetarian recipes please!

Reporting back: prepared this 10 days ago. Easy and delicious!! 👌🏻I did let the mixture cool in the fridge for a couple of hours before forming the beanballs. It was a tad too "crumbly" and not that easy to shape. - will need to practice this more to perfect it. I had 3 beanballs that couldn't fit in the pan: put those in the fridge and fried them a few days later. I think that's the move: they were holding together better & were even yummier than the first batch. This is going in my rotation for sure!

I wanted to go to Turkey to see the Hagia Sophia, Ephesus, Cappadocia and Pamukkale. Now I just want to go to eat.😅

I absolutely appreciate your recipes, they are amazing! But the way you talk to your audience, the care and compassion (which is so missing in this cruel world) is what makes me watch your videos!! Please keep up the good work. You make the world a happier place (: (:
-
I appreciate that you include vegetarian options in your videos. It's nice to see that everyone can enjoy delicious food. 🤌😃🥰🥰

Looks great. For a vegan alternative leave out the egg and add a bit of chickpea flour and a splash of liquid for the texture.

We had a Turkish dining facility in Afghanistan and the Kafke was always delicious, can’t wait to make this one, shared with family who are eating less meat these days for health conscious reasons. Lots of ❤back to you from USA 🇺🇸❤️

OMG and they don't fall apart! Oh Refika, you are simply awesome! Kimse senin gibi değil!

This looks so good!! As an Orthodox Christian, we fast quite a bit during the year. I am always looking for new Vegan recipes. This is awesome, thank you so much!!!
-
Hi from Tennessee USA. Looks absolutely delicious. Definitely going to try and make that dish. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe. Have a fantastic day.
-
Thank you for your recipe. Can I cook those in the air fryer? Just to avoid frying in a pan.
-
You made this look SO good! Thank you! Always appreciate these vegetarian recipes.
-
This looks nice Refika. Many of us have given up red meat and the processed substitutes are not good. Not sure about the corn but the rest looks like it would work really well. Much love from me!
-
This looks delicious and super easy! I will make it today. :) Love hearing the team chiming in - it's always a treat when you sort of break the fourth wall (let the behind-the-scene operation bleed in).
