vegetarian meatballs

Cook the beans according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse the canned beans. Then mince or chop them finely with the carrots. Finely chop the onions and sauté them in a pan, then add them to the beans. Grind the garlic, salt, sesame seeds, and sesame oil together in a mortar and pestle until a paste forms. Then mix everything with the eggs and season with the remaining spices. Form the mixture into meatballs and fry them in a pan. I like them best with avocado cream or a yogurt dressing. Tip: I always make a larger batch and use it as a spread or as a filling for paninis or pancakes, but without the egg.
