Quinoa and Rice 'Meatballs' in Tomato Sauce
Tips
If you would like a smooth tomato sauce, whizz the sauce in a blender before you pour it into the pan with the rice balls.
Quinoa is a nutritious ancient grain that’s one of our star Knorr Future 50 ingredients. For this delicious vegan meal, quinoa is combined with rice and spice to make tasty ‘meatballs’ that are browned in a pan and then gently simmered in tomato sauce. Finish the dish with fresh basil leaves and a generous grinding of black pepper.
