For the vegan balls

½ large sweet potato
2 ½ dl buckwheat

2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tsp salt
1 tsp black ground pepper

Boil buckwheat for about 15 minutes, until tender, then rinse.
In the oven or microwave, bake sweet potato until cooked through, then peel.
Put all the vegan balls’ ingredients in a pot. With a hand-blender, blend until smooth. Pour in a little bit of olive oil to the dough to make it easier to form the balls.

Heat a pan over medium heat and add olive oil.
Fry the balls until browned on the outside.
Serve with ready-made (/store-bought) tomato sauce and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
