A vegetarian or vegan alternative made with wild rice and lentils.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix the cooked rice and lentils in a bowl with the garlic and cumin. Add the flour and breadcrumbs. The mixture will be crumbly.
Fill a bowl with warm water. Dip your hands in the water. With wet hands, form the crumbly mixture into small egg shaped balls. Add a few drops of oil or water to each meatball as you shape it to help it stick together. Place meatballs on a baking sheet and top each with a drop of oil.
Bake for 20 minutes, turning and adding more drizzles of oil as necessary.
When toasted on the outside and warmed through, remove them from oven and place them in individual oven-safe bowls. Cover with tomato sauce and cheese and bake on high broil until heated through and cheese is melted, about 8-10 minutes.
Note: the meatballs will be crispy on the outside when you take them out of the oven. This is OK because they will soften (but not get too soggy) as they are heated with the tomato sauce. To soften them more, add a tablespoon or two of water in with the tomato sauce as you heat them in the oven or microwave.
