**Vegetarische Kottbullar**
*Ingredients:*
– 1 cup cooked quinoa
– 1 cup finely chopped mushrooms
– 1/2 cup shredded carrots
– 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
– 1/4 cup finely diced onion
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
– 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
– 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
*Instructions:*
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, chopped mushrooms, shredded carrots, parsley, onion, and garlic.
2. Add the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the vegetable mixture. Mix everything together until well combined.
3. Using your hands, shape the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. If the mixture is too wet, add a little more breadcrumbs; if it’s too dry, add a splash of water.
4. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the veggie balls to the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd them. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
5. Once the veggie balls are cooked, remove them from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
6. Serve the Vegetarische Kottbullar warm with lingonberry sauce or your favorite gravy on the side. These veggie balls pair well with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh green salad.
7. Enjoy these flavorful and nutritious veggie balls with your family and friends. They are a versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or party snack. The combination of ingredients creates a delicious umami flavor that will satisfy your cravings for comfort food.
Experiment with different seasonings and herbs to customize the flavor of these veggie balls to suit your taste preferences. You can also make a big batch and freeze the cooked veggie balls for a quick and easy meal prep option.
