Here an awesome super easy tempeh & quinoa meatless balls to use quinoa leftover (otherwise you just need to cook it).
Quinoa and tempeh are naturally gluten free and low FODMAP. They are both a great protein source, and adding an egg to bound all the ingredients together add an extra protein.
Tempeh & quinoa balls ingredients
- 1 block of tempeh (100 g)
- 1 cup of cooked quinoa (about 200 g)
- 1 egg
- Coriander or other fresh herbs
- Spices of your choice
Soak the quinoa overnight (or at least 6 hours). Rince thoroughly.
Blend all the ingredients and form into balls.
Cook them in a little bit of coconut oil in a frying pan or in the oven.
Note
If you don’t have quinoa leftover, soak the quinoa overnight (or at least 6 hours). Rinse thoroughly before cooking. This process aims to wash out the anti-nutrients and make the quinoa easier to digest.
Serve these tempeh & quinoa balls with veggies or in wraps. You can also shape patties to use them in a vegetarian burger.
Don’t forget the herbs & spices that will make all the difference. I like combine fresh coriander or fresh mint from the garden with curry powder. Yet, any herbs (parsley, mix herbs…) will do the job !
