Meatballs of seitan with vegetables 🍅

A very easy recipe! If you buy seitan with liquid, the first thing to do is to drain it and crumble it, leaving it in a colander for about 15-20 minutes to release all the liquid.

Once the time has passed, we take our seitan and introduce it in our food processor, food chopper, blender...whatever you have at hand! We will add garlic and onion powder and, very important! fresh parsley. The texture should be neither too thick nor too doughy. Keep checking the power.

Once the seitan is crushed, transfer it to a bowl and add the oat flour. Knead for a while; if you see that the texture is too sticky, you can add more flour. Form small balls and place them on a baking sheet with parchment paper. If you want a crunchier texture, you have the option of previously coating the balls in more flour before putting them in the oven. In my case I skipped this step.

Leave them in the oven for about 30 minutes, until you see that they are golden brown. It will depend on the power of your oven; the ideal would be to keep an eye on them after 20 minutes.

In the meantime, we will take care of our vegetable side dish. In my case I have sautéed the peppers with the zucchini in the pan with a spoonful of EVOO, to later add the crushed tomato. You can accompany it with the vegetables that you like, there are a thousand combinations, but this one really combines very well. Add a little oregano, garlic and onion powder to the sauce, you will see how tasty it is!

When the meatballs are ready, take them out of the oven and plate them as follows: bed of vegetables and meatballs on top. Wait for them to cool a little before placing them!

Now don't forget to enjoy yourself! 😌
