Ingredients
Crushed red pepper flakes ½ tsp or 0.2g
Directions
- Add your "meat" ball ingredients into the processor and blend till everything is well combined. You want to ensure there is no loose flour from the oats, this is how you know you've done blending.
- Begin rolling into "meatballs" I like using a tbsp. to measure or even a small ice cream scoop. Please note, you're balls will cook differently depending on the size you roll them. Once your balls are rolled, set them into the fridge while you prepare your sauce of choice.
- For tomato sauce saute onion and peppers in olive oil and when translucent, add garlic and spices until fragrant. Add tomatoes and simmer until desired consistency.
- Into a large non-stick, pan heat your olive oil for 1 minute or so. Add your balls and cook for around 1 minute on each side. Add your desired amount of sauce to the pot and cook for around 5-6 minutes, on medium, with the lid on, until your balls are cooked throughout. A way to test this is to cut into one and check if it's hot in the middle and steaming. That's when you know you're ready to eat all this deliciousness!
- Serve hot with rice or pasta, on their own or with salad!
