Millet "Meat" Balls (from Bob's Red Mill recipe)

I made this once, and it was pretty good. It makes a ton of meatballs. Doesn't remotely resemble meat, though, so unless you're a vegetarian you may be disappointed.

1 3/4 cups Cannellini Beans (cooked or from can)*
1 medium Onion
1 clove Garlic, minced
2 tsp Basil
1/2 cup Water
1 1/2 cups cooked Hulled Millet
3/4 cup Seasoned Bread Crumbs (or gluten free Bread Crumbs)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan Cheese
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 cup Seasoned Bread Crumbs (or gluten free Bread Crumbs)

Preheat oven to 350°F. In blender or food processor, puree cannellini beans, onion, garlic, basil, and water. Combine with cooked millet (see note), bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, and salt. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes.

Lightly spray cookie sheet. Shape mixture into 1” balls and roll in bread crumbs. Bake for approximately 40 minutes, flipping halfway through. Serve with marinara if desired.

Yield: approximately 30 “meat” balls.
