We love a hearty neatball (vegetarian meatball) that is satisfying and tasty, but still healthy – and we have the perfect storm with this vegetarian lentil neatball marinara dish. It is also really fun and easy to make and can be served with some bread to mop up the sauces, or just a green salad on the side.
You’ll need:
• 1 pack of The Spice Tailor Delhi Black Lentil Daal (lentils included)
• 1 3/4 tbsp. vegetable oil
• ½ small onion, finely diced
• 1 large clove garlic, finely chopped
• 1 1/2 tsp. plus 1 tsp. red or white wine vinegar
• 1/8th tsp. salt and pepper plus extra to taste
• 70-80g dried breadcrumbs
• 400g marinara or pasta sauce (we buy a garlic and onion one)
• 6 basil leaves, shredded, optional
• Chilli flakes, optional
• Handful of grated parmesan to serve
