BAKED BROCCOLI CHEESE BALLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200C/390F (all oven types).
• Line tray with baking / parchment paper. (Note 2)
• Place all ingredients (except oil spray) in a bowl. Mix well to combine, mashing up the broccoli as you go (like when you are cooking mince).
• Scoop up a heaped tablespoon, then press in firmly. Flick out into your hand then form into a ball. Place on tray. Repeat with remaining mixture - should make 15 - 18 balls.
• Spray with oil then bake for 25 minutes, or until the surface is slightly crisp and golden.
• Serve with Lemon Yoghurt Sauce - it also goes great with ketchup!
• Sauce: Mix ingredients together then set aside for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavours to meld.

PARMESAN BROCCOLI BALLS

Steps:

• Place broccoli in a medium saucepan with enough water to cover. Cover, and bring to a boil. Cook 5 minutes. Uncover, and continue cooking 2 to 3 minutes, until tender. Remove from heat, drain, and cool.
• In a large bowl, mix broccoli, stuffing mix, Parmesan cheese, onion, eggs, margarine, pepper, and garlic salt. Cover, and chill in the refrigerator approximately 1 hour, until moisture has been absorbed.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Roll the chilled mixture into 1 inch balls, and arrange on a medium baking sheet.
• Bake 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until browned.

VEGGIE BALLS

Steps:

• Combine the lentils and 2 quarts water in a medium stockpot and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the lentils are soft (but not falling apart), about 25 minutes. Drain the lentils and allow to cool.
• Add 1/4 cup of the olive oil to a large frying pan and sauté the onions, carrots, celery, garlic, thyme, and salt over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, for about 10 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and just beginning to brown. Add the tomato paste and continue to cook, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring frequently, for 15 more minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and allow to cool to room temperature. When cool, add the lentils to the vegetable mixture.
• Add the eggs, Parmesan, bread crumbs, parsley, and walnuts to the cooled vegetable mixture and mix by hand until thoroughly incorporated. Place in the refrigerator for 25 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil into a 9×13-inch baking dish and use your hand to evenly coat the entire surface. Set aside.
• Roll the mixture into round, golf ball-size meatballs (about 1 1/2 inches), making sure to pack the vegetable mixture firmly. Place the balls in the prepared baking dish, allowing 1/4-inch of space between the balls and place them in even rows vertically and horizontally to form a grid.
• Roast for 30 minutes, or until the meatballs are firm and cooked through.
• Allow the meatballs to cool for 5 minutes in the baking dish before serving.
