I have this amazing recipie for sweet and sour meatballs, but since i don't eat meat, what can i use instead for the meatballs?
Theres a lot of Companies that make Vegetarian Meatballs (Gardenburger, Boca, etc.) Peace and Love, Dan
umm, I made these the other day, they were quite yum. They are from the NZ Vegetarian Society webpage - if you left out the spaghetti and maybe expirimented with the spices and stuff, they'd be ok for meatball substitutes, I think. Italian Tofu Balls (Vegan. Very Tasty) 1 block of tofu (soft texture) 1 small onion cut into quarters 1/4 cup pecan nuts 2 slices of wholemeal bread 2 Tbsp wholemeal flour 1 Tbsp parsley 2 Tbsp soysauce 1-2 cloves garlic, crushed 1/2 tsp dried basil Put the above ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Form into the shape of a small ball, then place on a greased oven tray and bake 3/4 hour at 200°C, turning over at half time. Makes approximately 16. They should be nicely browned when ready. Serve on a bed of cooked spaghetti. Optional - steam silverbeet and mix through the spaghetti. For a tomato sauce to pour over the balls and spaghetti, heat two cans of savoury tomatoes adding additional chopped onion if desired. Sprinkle the top with finely chopped parsley and serve it as a complete meal. Also, if you go on www.vegweb.com and search under just something like 'meatballs' you should be able to find something. hope that helps a bit
u shouldn't be allowd to call them meatballs wen theres no meat in it. wat r these people/companies thinking?
meh. they're not meat meatballs. Like you can bu not bacon bacon and not chicken chicken so why not meatless meatballs.
I always figured they did that so the general public would know that it was a soy substitute for the meatball. Calling it a soybeanball wouldn't go too well.
