Difficulty: easy
Servings: 4

INGREDIENTS

Peas 300 g
Rice 75 g
Cricket flour 30 g
Shallot 1 pc
Mint To taste
Breadcrumbs To taste
Sunflower oil/seed oil 120 g
Soy milk 60 g
Juice of half a lemon
Salt 1 tablespoon
Turmeric, chives, herbs to flavor to taste

PREPARATION

Blend 80% of the peas with the shallots and mint. Separately, in a saucepan, boil the rice for 15 minutes or until it becomes tender.

When everything is ready, mix in a bowl and add the salt, peas and cricket flour. Lastly add the breadcrumbs, whose function is to absorb excess water, then add it carefully.

Prepare the mayonnaise by adding the soya milk, the seed oil and the lemon juice and blend with an immersion blender.

Divide the mayonnaise into two equal parts, then add a little turmeric to the first and mix. For the second mayonnaise, add some finely chopped chives.

Now put the meatballs in the oven at 200°C for 15 minutes.

These meatballs provide the same nutritional values as traditional meatballs. Use the same recipe to make insect-based burgers.
