Mushroom and blackbean "meatballs"

Ingredients:

1 15 ounce can of black beans, drained and rinsed
8 ounces of mushrooms, finely chopped
1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
1 egg
salt and pepper to taste
fresh parsley for garnish 
handful of cheese optional

Directions:

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
Place black beans, mushrooms, bread crumbs, egg, salt, pepper and seasonings into large bowl. Mash all ingredients together until thoroughly combined. After chopping the mushrooms I decided to pulse all the ingredients but the egg in the food processor then added the egg. I did half with cheese half without.  Both ways are equally delicious.
Grease muffin tin with olive oil or butter. 
Roll mixture into appropriate size balls and place in muffin tin. 
Bake for approximately 15 min. being careful not to let them dry out. 
Remove from oven and serve along with your choice of sauce. (i prefer them plain myself with no sauce)
Garnish with parsley to make it pretty 
I used my mini muffin pan but you could easily use a large muffin tin or cookie sheet. Adjust cook time if  you make them large though. Mine were tablespoonish sized.
