Number of Servings: 23

Ingredients

    1-2 tbsp water or low-sodium broth
    1/2 cup diced onion or green garlic or leeks
    Garlic, 3 clove (remove)
    1/4 cup diced celery
    2 tablespoons minced fresh herbs (basil or parsley)
    1/4 teaspoon dried sage
    1 teaspoon dried basil
    1 teaspoon dried oregano
    1.5 cups cooked lentils (about 0.75 cup dry) (remove)
    1/4 cup cooked rice, ideally brown
    *100% Natural Tomato Paste, 3 tbsp (remove)
    2 tablespoons vital wheat gluten flour (remove)
    2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
    2 tablespoons no salt seasoning like Mrs Dash or Dr. Fuhrman's MatoZest
    Ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Preheat oven to 350. In saute pan, heat 1 tablespoon water or broth, and saute the onion and garlic for 5 mins. Add the celery and fresh and dried herbs. Saute for another 5 mins, adding more water as needed to prevent sticking.

In a large bowl, combine the sauteed vegetables with all remaining ingredients and mix well. Mash lightly with a potato masher. With wet hands, form 2 tablespoons of the mixture into a smooth ball. Repeat for each. Place balls on very lightly oiled baking sheet and bake for 30 mins. Serve with low or no salt marinara sauce.
