In a bowl, mix the ground flax seeds with 3 tablespoons of water and let it rest.


Peel and finely chop the onions and garlic. Season with salt and saut in a pan with olive oil for 10 minutes. Reserve half of this mixture for the sauce and add cumin, smoked paprika, and dried herbs to the remaining half.


Mash the black beans with a fork and mix them with the onion mixture, almond flour, flax mixture, psyllium, soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of parsley, black pepper, and salt. Shape the mixture into about 20 meatballs and place them on a baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil and bake until slightly golden.


Mix the ingredients for the sauce with the reserved onion mixture and cook for about 20 minutes. Once the meatballs are ready, add them to the sauce and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Serve with the sauce, chips, and fresh parsley.
