So back to the title of this post. "Incorporating Vegetarian Meals." The reason I want to talk about this is not for moral reasons whatsoever. However, more so because I think its important for people to understand that meat is not the only source of protein out there! Red meats especially, are hearder for our bodies to digest. Also, I have a picky little toddler who hates the texture of meat, but LOVES veggies. Her eating habits have absolutely had a affect on my meal plans for the whole family. I'm not the type of parent that cooks a separate meal for a picky eater, so I researched a few recipes that my daughter, fiancé, and myself can enjoy! Here's one of my favorites!
Portobello Mushroom “Meat”balls
Ingredients:
·
5 oz Portobello Mushrooms diced small
·
2 eggs
·
½ cup seasoned breadcrumbs
·
1 Tbsp Italian Seasoning
·
2 cloves minced garlic
·
½ tsp Salt
·
½ tsp ground black pepper
·
Cooking Spray for searing
Method:
1.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2.
In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients
until well mixed.
3.
Using wet hands to prevent the
mixture from sticking to you, form the meatballs about 1 ½ inch big. This
recipe yields about 10 meatballs.
4.
Heat a skillet with some cooking
spray to medium. Sear the meatballs on all sides just until browned.
5.
Transfer the meatballs to a baking
dish and bake for 10-15 mins, until the mix is firm throughout.
6.
Enjoy!
