- 3 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted
- 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup vegan Parmesan cheese

Meatballs
- olive oil
- 1/2 onion, chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 4 ounces cremini mushrooms, minced or pulsed in food processor

Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper.
2. To prepare pesto, turn on food processor and drop in garlic clove to mince. Add in greens, pine nuts, lemon juice, and cheese and pulse until minced. Drizzle in olive oil until pesto-like consistency is reached. Taste, adjust seasoning, and set aside.
3. To prepare meatballs, heat skillet with a little olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onions and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and saute until aromatic, 30-60 seconds. Stir in mushrooms and 1 tablespoon olive oil, continuing to cook until tender. Remove mixture from pan and let cool.
4. Combine cooled onion mixture with remaining ingredients in large bowl. Form into equal-sized balls and arrange evenly on lined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and bake until firm to the touch, about 20 minutes. Serve with pesto.
