Boil the rice according to the package instructions.

Mix the maple syrup, soy, water, sugar, cornflour and ginger in a bowl.

In a small saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Before it gets too hot, add the garlic and stir for about a minute. We don’t want it to take on more than a little color.

Add the syrup mixture to the saucepan and increase the heat a little. Stir frequently and once the sauce begins to thicken, remove it from the heat (about 3-5 minutes).

Prepare the meatballs according to the instructions, dip them in the sauce and serve with rice. If desired, garnish with a little chives.

Easy Pizza with Genius Plant-based balls

Easy Pizza with Genius Plant-based balls

Easy Pizza with Genius Plant-based balls

  • SERVINGS 2-4
  • PREPARATION 10 MINUTES

INGREDIENTS

Ingredients for a 35 cm pizza
  • 8-10 Genius Balls
  • 1 pizza base (homemade or store-bought)
  • ½ cup (120ml) spicy tomato sauce (homemade or store-bought – see tip)
  • a few slices of raw onion
  • a few cherry tomatoes cut in half (or tomato slices)
  • fresh basil leaves

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Fry the Genius Balls according to the package instructions.
  2. Spread the sauce on the pizza base and add the remaining ingredients except the basil. Bake according to the dough instructions.
  3. Add a few basil leaves and serve.
Tips

The above quantities are for a pizza with a diameter of approximately 35 cm. We adjust depending on the size of our base. The sauce should be relatively thick and spread a thin layer. If we add too much, the dough may not cook properly.
Of course, we can adapt the recipe and add ingredients that we like, just make sure they are cut thinly so that they have time to cook (e.g. mushrooms, peppers, etc.)
