Time 1h10m

Yield 16 walnut sized balls

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
1 cup pecans
7 cloves garlic, crushed and minced (more if you want)
1/2 teaspoon sage
1 teaspoon crumbled oregano
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons lemon juice
8 ounces firm tofu, crumbled and drained
1/2 cup water
olive oil, for skillet-frying

Steps:

  • Place oats and pecans in a blender or food processor and process until finely ground.
  • Remove to a large bowl.
  • Add garlic, sage, oregano, salt, pepper, and lemon juice to bowl.
  • Process tofu and water in blender (or processor) until smooth.
  • Add to bowl with other ingredients and stir until mixture holds firmly together.
  • Shape into 1.
  • 5 inch balls.
  • Heat a little bit of olive oil in a non-stick skillet and skillet fry balls until reaching the desired level of brownness on all sides.
  • Adding more oil if needed.
  • Remove to brown bags or newspaper covered paper towels.
  • Place in a baking sheet and bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until done in the middle.
  • I sometimes skip this step and just flatten the balls slightly, so they will cook well on top of the stove.
  • Yields about 16 balls.
  • Serve over pasta cooked just al dente with some nice tomato sauce or as an appetizer.

These tofu nut balls are a great make-ahead meal. I like to make a big batch on the weekend and then reheat them throughout the week for lunch or dinner.

I love the combination of flavors in these tofu nut balls. The tofu is savory, the nuts are crunchy, and the sauce is sweet and tangy.

I love that these tofu nut balls are baked instead of fried. It makes them a healthier option, but they're still just as delicious.
