+If you haven’t done so, cook @quinoa{1%cup} and set aside to cool. To prepare 1 cup cooked quinoa: Add 1/3 heaping cup (65 g) dry quinoa to a #small saucepan{} and toast for ~{2-3%minutes} over medium heat. Then add 2/3 cup (160 ml) water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for ~{10-15%minutes} or until water is absorbed. Then fluff with a #fork{}, remove from the heat, and crack the lid so the quinoa can cool.
+
+Heat a #large skillet{} over medium heat with the @sesame oil{1%tbsp}. Once hot, add the @cremini mushrooms{8%oz} and sauté for ~{10-15%minutes}, stirring occasionally, until they are lightly browned and have released most of their moisture.
+
+Drain and rinse the @black beans{1%can}, then dry in a clean #kitchen towel{}.
+
+To the sautéed mushrooms, add the black beans, @garlic{4%clove}, @green onion{3%stalks}, @ginger{2.5%tbsp}, and @tamari{2%tbsp} (or soy sauce or coconut aminos). Sauté for ~{3-4%minutes}, or until slightly softened, stirring frequently. Set aside to cool slightly.
+
+Preheat the oven to 400 F (200 C) and set out a #baking sheet{}.
+
+Transfer the mixture to a #food processor{} and pulse until no large pieces of beans or mushrooms remain, being careful not to overmix into a paste.
+
+Add 1 cup (185 g) cooked and cooled quinoa (adjust amount if altering batch size) and the @maple syrup{1%tbsp} (or agave or honey). Pulse to combine until a textured dough forms, again being careful not to overmix.
+
+Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more tamari for saltiness/depth of flavor, sesame oil for nuttiness, or maple syrup for balance. If it’s too wet, add more quinoa and pulse to combine.
+
+Scoop out 1 ½-Tbsp portions of dough and gently shape into round balls using wet hands. Recipe as written makes ~15 meatballs. Add formed meatballs to a bare or parchment-lined baking sheet.
+
+Bake for ~{15%minutes}. Then flip to ensure even baking and bake for another ~{10-15%minutes}, or until golden brown and slightly dry to the touch.
+
+These "meatballs" are delicious served with steamed or roasted broccoli, sesame seeds, teriyaki sauce, and your grain of choice (brown rice, white rice, quinoa, coconut rice, millet // or cauliflower rice for grain-free).
+
+Leftovers will keep up to ~{3-4%days} in the refrigerator or 1 month in the freezer. To reheat cooked meatballs from frozen, place on a baking sheet and bake at 400 F (200 C) for ~{10-12%minutes}.
