Ingredients:

• 1 cup of quinoa
• 2 cups of water are needed to cook the quinoa.
• 1 cup of breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup of grated carrots
• 1/2 cup of chopped mushrooms
• 1/4 cup of chopped onions
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup of chopped parsley

• 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon of seasoning salt
• 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
• 2 eggs, whisked
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• 2 cups of your preferred pasta sauce

Instructions:

To prepare the quinoa, add water and quinoa to a saucepan. Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, cover the saucepan and reduce the heat to a simmer for 12 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables.

In a large bowl, mix together the cooked quinoa, breadcrumbs, carrots, mushrooms, onions, garlic, parsley, Parmesan cheese, soy sauce, oregano, seasoning salt, and pepper.

Add the whisked eggs to the mixture and stir until well combined.

Form the mixture into small, meatball-sized balls.

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Cook the meatballs in the skillet, turning occasionally, until they are browned on all sides and cooked through, about 12 minutes.

Plate the meatballs and spoon your favorite pasta sauce over them.

Serve and enjoy!
