These plant-based meatballs are bursting with Southeast Asian-inspired flavors thanks to lemongrass, ginger, and tamari. Served over a silky carrot-coconut sauce and topped with fresh edible flowers, they’re as beautiful as they are delicious.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread beans evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes to dry them out. Remove from oven and increase heat to 400°F.
In a food processor, combine quinoa, black beans, 3 cloves garlic, minced ginger, shallot, lemongrass paste, and tamari. Blend until a textured paste forms.
Roll into 1–2-inch balls.
Heat neutral oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and brown the meatballs on all sides.
Transfer to a baking sheet and finish baking at 400°F for 15 minutes.
Make the sauce
In a saucepan over medium heat, sauté onion in olive oil for 5 minutes until translucent.
Add garlic and carrots; stir for 2–3 minutes.
Stir in coconut milk, broth, lemongrass paste, and ginger.
Bring to a simmer and cook until carrots are tender, 15–20 minutes.
Let cool slightly, then transfer to a blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
Plate and serve
Spoon carrot sauce onto a flat plate. Arrange meatballs on top. Garnish with microgreens, edible flowers, and herbs of your choosing. Serve warm.
