This is my second recipe from
Purple Carrot. We had a bumpy road with Purple Carrot with the quality of the veg and with missing (and this time extra) ingredients. I ended up canceling this service but wanted to do a review on the recipes since I had them. I decided to continue with
GreenChef and I highly recommend them.
Today I'm reviewing the White Beanball Sub with a salad. I ended up with all my ingredients, however I had double of the flaxseed flour, which makes me wonder if someone was missing theirs??

Hubby prepped the onion and the peppers for this recipe while I prepped the bean ball ingredients.

In the processor we added the beans, a clove of garlic, nutritional yeast, the flaxseed flour and salt.

I used an ice cream scoop to make the balls and then just patted them round and added them to the pan. Looking back, these were way too big. I would probably make 8 balls instead of six out of this much bean mixture. Also the instructions said to "coat the balls in oil" I had no idea how to do that so I just put oil on the pan.

Next we cooked up the onions and the peppers and then added the sauce.

They had this mixture of panko, fresh parsley and a "lemony salt" mixture that was included in the package. It was ok. I think they were going for something that looked like Parmesan cheese on the top of the sub.

Over all the meal was ok. The salad was dressed with lemon juice and salt. Pretty simple. The beanballs desperately needed flavor. Maybe some more garlic or oregano and basil in the mixture. Something to give it a little life. I did appreciate the fact that this recipe taught me how to make these "balls" so I can easily now make my own black bean burgers or even sub sandwiches using this method.
