Cheesy Beef And Lentil Meatballs Recipe

4.0

500g lean beef mince

400g can brown lentils, rinsed, drained

½ red onion, finely chopped or grated

1 zucchini, coarsely grated

82.50 ml fresh basil leaves, finely chopped

25g (¼ cup) quinoa flakes

2 garlic cloves, crushed

1 egg, lightly whisked

2 tsp dried oregano leaves

9.20 gm olive oil

500ml (2 cups) tomato passata

200g mixed baby tomatoes, halved

2 tsp balsamic vinegar

40g (⅓ cup) coarsely grated fresh mozzarella

75g Greek feta, crumbled

Fresh basil leaves, extra, to serve

Place the mince, lentils, onion, zucchini, basil, quinoa flakes, garlic, egg and 1 teaspoon of the oregano in a large bowl. Season well with salt and pepper. Use clean hands to mix well until combined. Roll rounded tablespoonfuls of the mixture into balls. Transfer to a lined plate. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 30 minutes or until firm.
Preheat oven to 200C/180C fan forced. Heat the oil in a large, non-stick ovenproof frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook meatballs, turning, for 8 minutes or until browned. Remove from heat. Drizzle with tomato passata, keeping meatballs slightly exposed.
Combine tomato and vinegar in a bowl. Season. Spoon the tomato mixture among the meatballs. Sprinkle with mozzarella and feta. Sprinkle with remaining oregano. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden and bubbling. Stand for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with extra basil.
