Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs - Vegetarian Meatballs with Beans and Peppers

Oh no, do not rush to light the grill, misled by the title. Yes, outside is cloudy and there will be meatballs, but instead of meat they will be with beans, because this Sunday we are continuing with healthy recipes.
The main ingredient of our balls is a very commonly used in our Bulgarian cuisine, namely beans.
Usually when we talk about beans, people imagine either bean soup or baked beans with sausages. This time I will surprise you with a recipe for beanballs with roasted peppers.
Now put the beans to soak and read carefully.
    
Bean meatballs and roasted peppers

Cooking time 30 minutes
Time for cooking beans -60-90 min
Serves 4

 

 

•     1 cup raw beans
•     4 red peppers
•     1 onion
•     3 tbsp shelled sunflower seeds
•     2 tbsp olive oil
•     2 tbsp bread crumbs
•     salt
•     4-5 sage leaves

Instructions for cooking the beans

Clean and wash the beans. Put it in a bowl and pour some boiling water so as to cover them. Soak for at least one hour. Wash it once again and put it to a boil in small amount of water. Remove from the heat, when water starts to boil. Change the water, wash the beans and return to the stove.
Do not add salt during cooking - this will prolong cooking time.
Cook until beans broken up, and can be easily crushed with a fork.
Roast and peel the peppers. Blend them with olive oil.

Drain the water from the beans in a separate bowl. Puree the beans to a thick paste, if needed, pour some of the water in which it was boiled - be careful - mixture should stay  thick.

Mix blended beans with pepper puree. Add the finely cut onions, sunflower seeds and breadcrumbs. Mix well with fork, salt according to your taste and add chopped sage.

At the end, shape several medium-sized balls from the mixture.
Pour some olive oil in a pan so as to cover the bottom. Take a ball, flatten it slightly and then roll in bread crumbs.

Put it in a preheated oil. Fry about 2-3 minutes on one side and turn it carefully on the other. Leave fried balls on household paper to drain of excess fat.
Cooked balls can be served garnished with green or spinach salad.

I made burgers with spinach, onions and pickles.

Enjoy!
