Leftover Veggie Meatballs

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

These Fried Veggie Meatless Balls are a Way to Use Leftover Vegetables

— July 21, 2015 — Eco
This easy DIY veggie meatball recipe is the perfect way to be eco-friendly in the kitchen and never waste leftover veggies again.

The recipe calls for all the leftover veggies in the kitchen. Use whatever veggies didn't get eaten and dice them up into small pieces. In a blender combine oil, garlic, cilantro, cumin seeds, feta and an egg or two. Make it into a puree and then simply roll the concoction into balls. Using hot oil, fry the balls of veggies.

Often the leftover veggies have enough seasoning, so adding extra salt and pepper isn't really necessary. The only important part of this recipe is the egg that holds the veggie meatballs together. These quick reinvented leftovers are great for pasta or just for snacking.
Trend Themes
1. Eco-friendly Cooking - Opportunity for innovative recipes and techniques that minimize food waste and utilize leftover ingredients.
2. Upcycled Cuisine - Exploration of creative ways to repurpose food scraps and leftovers into delicious and nutritious meals.
3. Alternative Protein Sources - Development of plant-based meat substitutes using leftover vegetables and other ingredients.
Industry Implications
1. Food and Beverage - Innovative companies can create products and services that cater to eco-conscious consumers by offering sustainable cooking solutions.
2. Food Waste Management - Opportunity for businesses to provide technologies and services that help reduce food waste and maximize resource utilization.
3. Plant-based Food - Companies can explore the use of leftover vegetables in creating plant-based meat alternatives, tapping into the growing demand for vegetarian and vegan options.
