No, it’s not that I am becoming vegetarian. What happens is that I enjoy tasting new things and reinterpreting, so in this case I bring you these veggie balls that I’ve found on this fantastic blog (Mi mesa para tres<\/a>), without meat. The so called “meatballs”, but without “meat”.<\/p>\n

You already see their appearance, meatball-like but a bit darker. Their texture is soft, with small bits, depending on how much you grind mushrooms. And their taste, delightful and inimitable, I recommend you that you try them to enjoy the not very usual hazelnuts-mushrooms tandem.<\/p>\n

I have adjusted quantities following my eternal search for variations; the result is just spectacular and you can combine them with a vast number of sauces: tomato, mango, olives, etc.<\/p>\n

Directions<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chop garlic and crush it in the mortar together with hazelnuts.\u00a0Save it for later.<\/p>\n

Wash and mix mushrooms with a mixer until you have a homogeneous dough. Beat egg and mix it with bread crumble (or crumble the slice of bread before), mushrooms and the mixture from the mortar (garlic and hazelnut). Season with salt and pepper.<\/p>\n

Preheat oven to 180\u00baC. Make small balls and put them in an oven tray, where you have previously put baking\u00a0paper. Bake it at 180\u00baC for aprox. 25-30 minutes.<\/p>\n
