BLACK BEAN AND TOFU MEATBALLS

Steps:

• In a food processor, puree the tofu and scoop into a large mixing bowl.
• Puree the onion and carrot and transfer to the mixing bowl with the tofu.
• Puree the black beans and transfer to the mixing bowl with the tofu, carrots, and onion.
• Add two cups of the breadcrumbs to the mixing bowl along with the mustard, ketchup, oregano, basil, eggs, ginger, garlic, red chili flakes, and paprika.
• Use a rubber spatula to mix the ingredients together until a stiff mixture has formed.
• While heating the oil to 350 degrees, use a small scoop (about two teaspoons) to portion the meatballs equally. Roll the mixture in your hands to form and ball and then roll into the breadcrumbs.
• Set aside the meatballs until oil is fully heated.
• Add the meatballs to the oil a few at a time; allow the meatballs to cook until they turn a deep brown colour - about 5 minutes.
• Remove from the oil and place in a baking dish. Pour your favourite sauce over the meatballs and bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
• Garnish and serve immediately.
