Amaranth Vegan Meatballs

Step 1

Cook the amaranth according to pack instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the water with the flaxseed. Set aside for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Heat up a little oil in a frying pan and fry the onions until translucent, for about 3-5 minutes. Add the garlic cloves and fry for another minute. Set aside.

Step 4

In a medium-sized bowl, add the cooked amaranth, the flaxseed mixture, the herbs, cooked onion and garlic, flour, lemon, nutritional yeast and mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Step 5

The mixture should come together and be fairly sticky but easy to handle with your hands. If it's too sticky add a little more flour. Create small meatballs with the amaranth mixture and set them aside for frying.

Step 6

Heat up a little olive oil in a frying pan and fry the amaranth meatballs on both sides until crispy and golden.

Step 7

Serve them in a hot dog bun with the toppings of your choice.
