Drain the can of white beans into a colander and rinse under water, then shake off any excess water and transfer into a large bowl, using a potato masher or a large fork, mash down on the white beans until well mashed

Once the white beans are mashed, add in the bread crumbs, crack in the egg, add in the chopped onion, chopped garlic, chopped parsley, ground cumin and season with sea salt & black pepper, mix together until well mixed, then push down on the mixture to end up with a paste-like texture

To shape the meatballs, grab a spoonful of the mixture and squeeze it in your hands, this is to ensure the ingredients are well binded together, the form it into a shape of a golf ball

Heat a large fry pan with a medium heat and add in the olive oil

After a couple of minutes add in the white bean meatballs, all in a single layer, cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden fried all around, then remove from the pan and set aside

Using the same pan with the same heat, add in the chopped onion and garlic, mix continuously, after 3 to 4 minutes and the onion is translucent, add in the flour, continue to mix together, after 2 minutes add in the wine, dried thyme and season with sea salt & black pepper, mix together and then simmer

After 3 minutes and the alcohol has cooked off, add in the vegetable broth, continue to mix and go for 3 to 4 minutes or until you end up with a slightly creamy sauce, then add the white bean meatballs back into the pan, all in a single layer, heat them through for 2 to 3 minutes, then remove from the heat

Transfer the white bean meatballs into serving dishes, top off with the onion sauce and some chopped fresh parsley, enjoy!
