Ingredients
Vegetarian Meatballs
- Ingredients
- 1 shallot
- 1 garlic clove
- 2 Tbsps olive oil
- 250 grams Millet
- 2 eggs
- 2 Tbsps breadcrumbs
- 1 handful Fresh herbs (such as basil, chervil, thyme)
- salt
- peppers
- Nutmeg (freshly grated)
- vegetable oil (for frying)
Peel the shallot and garlic and finely chop. Sauté briefly in hot olive oil and pour in 500 ml (approximately 2 cups) of broth. Rinse the millet in a sieve and add to the broth. Cover and simmer for about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let soak while covered for another 15-20 minutes. If necessary, add a little more broth. The millet should have absorbed all of the liquid at the end of cooking.
Let millet cool slightly, uncovered. Add the eggs, breadcrumbs and the finely chopped herbs. Mix together well to form a batter. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg and then form into vegetarian meatballs.
Place meatballs in hot vegetable oil in portions. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown on each side. Drain on paper towels and serve.
