How to Prepare Black-Eyed Bean Meatballs [Vegan]

First, soak the beans overnight and then the next day, strain them and add them to a blender. Blend until a smooth paste.
Transfer them to a bowl. Add the fennel, garlic and then the cashews and the nutritional yeast and mix together. Once mixed, add 1 tablespoon of oil and lemon zest. Cover with foil and put the dough in the fridge for 1 hour.
Then, take it out and shape it into meatballs.
Heat the remaining oil in a non-stick pan and "fry" them for a few minutes on both sides until golden brown. They fit perfectly in a pita or along with pasta or accompanied by a salad and a nice dip.
