How to Prepare Pumpkin Seed Cannellini Meatballs With Zucchini Spaghetti [Vegan, Gluten-Free]
The Meatballs:
- Place the pumpkin seeds in hot water and turn the oven to 200 degrees.
- In a frying pan, add the olive oil, the red onion, the garlic, the thyme and the oregano. Leave on low heat while occasionally stirring until the onions start to soften. Then remove the water from the pumpkin seeds, and add those and the well-rinsed Cannellini beans. Increase the heat and fry for a minute or two while stirring.
- Remove the pan from the stove and blend it all together thoroughly using a hand mixer. It will be very sticky, perfect to immediately form small meatballs. Add a baking paper to a baking tray on which you place the meatballs. Bake in the oven for approximately 40 minutes (depends on oven and size of meatballs so keep a close eye, and roll them around a few times to get them a little crunchy on all sides). You can make these the day or two before and keep in the fridge.
- Add the olive oil to a pan and bring to medium heat. Add the garlic and the herbs and fry while stirring for a minute or two before adding the rest of the ingredients. Let it boil for at least 40 minutes, until the tomatos have become soft enough to blend in with the rest of the sauce. Ten minutes before serving, taste, and adjust the flavour with more salt, thyme, oregano, red wine, agave etc. Add more water (and red wine) throughout cooking if needed to get to the right consistency.
- Make spaghetti out of well washed zucchinis using a mandolin, spiralizer or even a potato peeler.
