How to Prepare Harissa Lentil Quinoa Meatballs [Vegan]

  1. Boil the quinoa and the lentils in 3 cups of water for 10 minutes. Strain them after boiling. They will be cooked but will retain a somewhat hard texture.
  2. Put the lentils and quinoa in a food processor and mix briefly. Add the onion, garlic, roasted eggplants, tahini, lemon juice, harissa, cumin, black pepper, and breadcrumbs. Mix them until thoroughly combined but with a slight texture left.
  3. Add the walnuts and pulse the food processor a few times.
  4. Shape into balls and cook in a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat, flipping a few times until you get a nice crust cover. Alternatively, you can bake them for 15-25 minutes in 400°F.
