Uma receita muito simples, que pode ser reinventada com imensos ingredientes – pode-se fazer tortilha de tudo.  Esta é uma sugestão muito rápida de fazer e saborosa, mesmo sem carne – porque ainda há cépticos em diminuir o consumo de carne da sua alimentação, participo neste desafio.

Another Monday, another meatless recipe! This crunchy vegetable balls are cooked in the oven, so they’re eve more healthier. Hope you like them 🙂

Ingredients:
2 grated carrots
A hand full of spinach
1 chopped onion
4 table spoons of vegetable grease
2 table spoons of flour
200ml of milk
1 coffe spoon of grated nutmeg
Salt and pepper
Breadcrumbs, flour and 1 egg – for assembling

Start by melting one spoon of the vegetable grease  – then add the carrot and the spinach; season, and let it cook until the spinach are soft. Keep aside.
Melt the remain vegetable grease and braise the onion. Once it turns softer, add the flour and stir – add some milk and keep stiring – it will turn into a creamy mixture like bechamel sauce – repeat the process until you’ve used all the milk. Add then the vegetables, and let the mixture thickens.

Let it cool before assembling. Shape the amount of mixture you desire into a ball – the amount I used was about a table spoon – roll it in the flou, then in the egg and then in the breadcrumbs. 
Place the veggie balls on a cooking tray and take them to the oven, at 170ºdegrees, for about 10 minutes.
