Gluten Free Veggie Balls
Makes: approximately 30
Ingredients:
- 4 medium potatoes
- 1 heaped tablespoon minced garlic
- 1/2 medium onion, finely diced
- 1 medium carrot, grated
- 1 stalk celery, finely diced
- 1 medium zucchini, grated
- 1/2 small sweet potato, grated
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/4 cup besan (chickpea) flour
- 1 cup pure rolled oats or rice (pure rolled oats seen in the picture)
Method:
- Peel and chop the potatoes into even sized pieces and place them in a saucepan and cover with salted water. Bring to the boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat, cover and cook for 10-15 minutes until they are cooked through.
- While the potatoes are boiling, heat 1 tablespoon of rice bran oil to a large heavy based frying pan, then add the garlic, onion, celery and carrot cooking for about 4 minutes or until the onion is start to soften
- Add in the zucchini and sweet potato and continue to cook while stirring for another 3-4 minutes until onions are translucent and all vegetables are cooked through
- Stir through the Tahini and spices and remove from the heat as soon as it becomes fragrant
- Drain the potatoes and mash very well, add in the spiced vegetables and the flour, mix very well and then set aside to cool completely
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celcius and line 2 trays with baking paper
- Add the rolled oats/rice to a food processor and grind until like a breadcrumb texture and set aside in a small bowl that is big enough to roll and coat the veggie balls
- Use your dampened hands to roll tablespoons full of the mixture into balls and then roll them in the oats to coat and place them on the baking tray. Repeat with the entire mixture
- Bake the veggie balls for 30 minutes or until golden brown
