Vegan Meatballs (No Tvp or Soy) image

I've been playing around with making 'meatballs' using some ingredients/techniques I've seen from other recipes. this is a nice substitute for regular meatballs, but don't drop them into a pot of sauce to cook... they'll fall apart after a while! I used Nutritional Yeast Flakes which you could totally make this recipe without. It has a kind of 'cheese' flavor which I like in meatballs :-)

Time 40m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup cooked lentils
1 cup cooked brown rice (I used short grain for texture)
1/4 cup rolled oats (not quick cooking)
1/4 cup wheat germ
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast flakes
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
2 teaspoons onions, minced
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • combine all ingredients in a bowl. With your hands bruise/mash the lentils a bit, but not to the point that there all mushy.
  • using a small ice cream scoop (or with wet hands) roll out golfball sized balls. (slightly smaller).
  • *continue to dampen hands when doing this -- the mixture is sticky.
  • place on a lightly oiled cookie sheet and bake 15 minutes.
  • Turn over and bake an addional 15 minutes.
  • Serve topped with a nice vegetarian/vegan marinara.

I've tried many vegan meatball recipes, but this one is by far the best. The combination of mushrooms, lentils, and spices is perfect, and the meatballs hold their shape well.

These vegan meatballs were a hit with my family! They were so flavorful and moist, and the texture was spot-on. I especially loved the crispy outer layer.
