Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 45 minutes

Peel, wash, and finely dice the onions and carrots. Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves. Trim, wash, and finely slice the leek. Heat a little oil in a pan, sauté the onions, and add the garlic. Add the carrots, leeks, and green spelt meal, and sauté briefly. Season the mixture and pour in the vegetable stock. Simmer for about 20 minutes, then let it cool. Finally, mix the cooled mixture with the egg and breadcrumbs (if the mixture isn’t firm enough, carefully and sparingly add more breadcrumbs until you have a pliable mixture). Form meatballs and fry in hot oil for about 4-5 minutes on each side. Tip: You can gently coat the meatballs in breadcrumbs before frying.
