Instructions

1. Drain the white beans, rinse them, shake off excess water, and put them in a large bowl. Mash them well with a potato masher or a large fork.
2. Add the breadcrumbs, egg, finely chopped onion, finely chopped garlic, chopped parsley, ground cumin, and salt and pepper. Mix well, then press down until the mixture is paste-like.
3. Squeeze a spoonful of the mixture in your hands to bind it, then shape it into golf-ball-sized balls.
4. Heat a large frying pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. After a couple of minutes, add the bean balls in a single layer and cook 8–10 minutes, until golden all over. Remove and set aside.
5. In the same pan over the same heat, add the chopped onion and garlic and stir constantly. After 3–4 minutes, when the onion is translucent, add the flour and stir for 2 minutes.
6. Add the wine, dried thyme, salt and pepper, stir and simmer for 3 minutes until the alcohol has cooked off.
7. Add the vegetable broth and stir for 3–4 minutes until the sauce is slightly creamy.
8. Return the bean balls to the pan in a single layer and heat through for 2–3 minutes, then remove from the heat.
9. Serve the bean balls topped with the onion sauce and chopped parsley.
