Vegetarian Meatballs

2 cups cooked wild rice 1 heaping cup finely chopped mushrooms 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt 2 eggs 3/4 cup breadcrumbs 1 teaspoon smoked paprika 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon salt olive oil (optional)

For the Gravy

3 tablespoons salted butter 1/2 teaspoon onion powder and/or garlic powder 3 tablespoons flour 1 1/2 cups vegetable broth 1/2 cup sour cream salt and black pepper to taste

Method

Meatballs: Preheat the oven to 425. Mix the meatball ingredients together. Roll into balls (1-2 tablespoons each) and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until firm when you press them.

Gravy: Melt butter in a large skillet. Add onion powder, garlic powder, and flour. Let it bubble for a few minutes to remove any floury taste. Slowly add broth, whisking after each addition, to make a smooth sauce. Stir in sour cream. Adjust consistency to taste with more broth. Season to taste. That’s all! Place your cooked meatballs in the gravy and get them all nice and saucy. Serve with potatoes, salad, or roasted veggies.
