  • 4 slices Dempster's® 100% Whole Grain Double Flax Bread, toasted
  • 1 can (19 oz/540 mL) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) chopped onion
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
  • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) pepper
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) olive oil
  • 3 cups (750 mL) prepared marinara sauce

DIRECTIONS

  1. In food processor, pulse toast to make fine crumbs; set aside.
  2. Add black beans, garlic, onion, egg, oregano, salt and pepper to food processor; blend until combined. Add bread crumbs; pulse until mixture starts to form a ball. Spoon heaping tablespoonfuls (15 mL) of mixture into balls.
