Water kefir "meatballs"
- 50ml oil
- 600 g water kefir crystals
- 2 onions
- 8 tbsp oatmeal (Haferflocken)
- 200ml of water
- 1-2 teaspoon vegetable stock, instant
- soysauce
- garlic powder
- smoked paprika
- hot paprika (Rosenpaprika)
- italian herbs
- chilli flakes
- 2 eggs
- breadcrumbs
- oil for frying

(1) Drain the water kefir crystals in a fine-mesh sieve. Cut the onion into small cubes and sauté in the oil in a high pan. Add the rolled oats, the water, the vegetable stock, the water kefir crystals and the soy sauce and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly, then leave to cool.

(2) Place the mixture in a bowl and season with more soy sauce, garlic powder, smoked paprika, italian herbs, chilli flakes. Add the eggs and knead with enough breadcrumbs to make the mixture easy to shape. Then form flat meatballs and fry in a pan with enough oil on both sides until golden brown.

(3) The "crystals" used to produce water kefir are rich in protein and can be used as a substitute for minced meat. To do this, excess "crystals" are collected and stored in a sugar solution in the refrigerator.
