-
Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
-
In a food processor (working in batches) roughly chop the mushrooms.
-
Transfer the mushrooms to a large sauté pan over medium high heat.
-
Add your spinach and/or kale (in batches) to the same food processor and chop it.
-
Transfer chopped spinach and/or kale to the same pan with the mushrooms.
-
Add the bullion to the water and stir it until it’s dissolved. Pour the bullion and water mixture over the sautéing mushrooms and spinach and/or kale. Add the garlic and sauté until most of the liquid has evaporated (5 to 10 minutes).
-
Transfer the mushrooms and spinach and/or kale to a large mixing bowl.
-
Add the salt and pepper, Beau Monde seasoning, basil, oregano, paprika, black beans, quinoa flakes, almond meal, and egg white to the mushroom mixture.
-
Mix well and then form into golf ball sized veggie balls (I used a cookie dough scoop to keep them uniform).
-
Place on parchment lined cookie sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes.
-
While the veggie balls are cooking combine the blueberry preserves, Balsamic vinegar, ginger, and kosher salt & black pepper to a small sauce pan.
-
Heat over medium high heat until the mixture is warmed through and just begins to boil. Remove from heat.
-
When the veggie balls are done remove them from the oven and place them in a large mixing bowl.
-
Pour the blueberry sauce over the veggie balls and toss them carefully (the veggie balls will be relatively soft) until well coated.
-
Transfer the veggie balls to a serving dish and EAT!!!
-
Makes ~ 26 balls.
