Lentil meatballs
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Lentil meatballs turn out light and non-greasy, fitting perfectly into a fasting menu (you can omit the egg if desired). Keep in mind that lentils should be soaked in advance and freed from their skins, as they can spoil the dish. Choose sweet carrots and sweet peppers for the lentil meatballs—they pair well with oregano and thyme. You can serve the finished meatballs simply on spinach leaves, or prepare a light side dish if you prefer. Serve hot.
