Introduction

Delicious lentil meatballs that are great with a variety of sauces. I like to eat mine with tomato sauce over rice and cooked broccoli, or with tzatziki sauce! Delicious!! Also you can change up the spices to change the flavors up a lot. Delicious lentil meatballs that are great with a variety of sauces.
