Vegan MoFo: Lentil Meatballs

VEGAN MOFO 2012:  BAKE SOMETHING ALREADY!

For my first Vegan MoFo post of 2012, I thought I'd try a recipe from Peas and Thank You by Sarah Matheny.  Mr. GV's days at work are long and he needs two meals, plus snacks, to get through his shift, and he enjoys a good vegan meatball or five on top of the pasta that he takes to work most days. 

This recipe is titled Mediterranean Lentil Meatballs, although she mentions you can use black beans instead of lentils, so I thought I'd give that a try.  

 The original recipe calls for making 12 larger meatballs, but I decided to go smaller, just because that's how I usually do it.

Verdict:  Mr. GV did not enjoy these as much as I had hoped.  He felt the olive taste was just not right with the sauce.  There was a taste "clash" if you will.  If you like the taste of Kalamata olives, this might be a great meatball for you, though!
