Tempeh Meatless Balls

.

.

8oz Organic Tempeh

1 cup Chickpeas

3 tbsp Quinoa Flour 

2 tbsp Coconut Aminos

1 tsp Coconut oil

1 tsp Lemon Juice

1 tsp Himalayan Pink Salt

1 tbsp Garlic 

1 tbsp Dried Parsley 

1 tbsp Curry Powder

1 tsp Smoked Paprika 

1 tsp Liquid Smoke 

1 tsp Cumin

.

Mix all ingredients in a food processor. Form balls! 

.

.

Cooking options:

.

Bake: Place in glass cooking dish and Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes

.

- this is the healthiest way to make this recipe-

.

Pan Bake: Using an expeller cooking oil spray, I used Avocado Oil Spray, spray your pan and heat it until its sizzling. Cook balls for 5 minutes or until brown 

.

.

-minimal amount of oil in the cooking spray adds fat to the dish and the heated oil becomes a carcinogen which mildly raises your risk for cancer. It's still a healthier way to prepare this dish.

.

.

Pan Fry: Add a thin layer of oil to your pan and heat until sizzling. Submerge balls in the oil and fry until crisp on each side. 

.

.

- high fat from the oil and frying has turned a healthy Tempeh Meatless Ball into a fatty splurge. 

.

.

.

Oven baked, pan baked or fried gives you the options to make this dish in multiple variations. This dish can be prepared in the healthiest of ways or as a splurge. It's up to you to decide!
