Spiced Lentil ‘Meatballs’ With Ben’s Plant Powered

Blitz the pouch of Ben’s Plant Powered Spicy Lentil Stew with the plant-based mince, spices and salt and pepper in a food processor. Shape that mix into balls, however big you’d like, size doesn’t matter, then put it in the oven for 20 minutes at 200°C.

Whilst that’s happening, grate the garlic and the ginger and fry that in a large frying pan on a low heat until golden. Dollop in the mango chutney and tomato paste along with about 70ml of water. Let it reduce to a sticky, tomato-ey sauce and pop it into a small jar.

Get the “meatballs" out of the oven and pop into the large frying pan. Crank the heat up to a medium and pour the mango-ey sauce over them, turning gently to make sure they’re all evenly coated.

Finally, pop your Ben’s Wholegrain Rice pouch in the microwave and cook per on-pack instructions.

Serve it up. Rice in bowls first, then the sticky “meatballs”, a few sprigs of fresh coriander and a squeeze of lime juice completes this. And go enjoy it, especially if your name is Ben.
