How to make delicious meatless cutlets: they will be healthy and low-fat
Delicious meatballs don't have to contain meat at all. Use lentils to make them lean and juicy. They hold their shape perfectly when chopped and do not burn in the pan.
The idea of making meatless meatballs was published on the Instagram page of food blogger Kateryna Brailo (ketiv_). You will need to add a few more vegetables.
