Guest guest Posted March 18, 2002 Report Share Posted March 18, 2002 Hi All, Just to let you know: Trader Joe's has vegan meatless meat balls in the freezer section. They're really good. You just take out as many as you like and cook them up. Here's how I made them the other night. Everyone, including two meat eaters, raved about them. " Jewish Meatballs " Fry up as many TJ meatless balls as you want in a little oil. Use a deep pan or a splatter screen, as they may splatter. When they are nice and brown, add: 2 parts chili sauce (Heinz makes this -- it's sweet and not hot, rather like sweet ketchup) 2 part grape jam (not jelly) For 4 servings, you'd use about 2/3 cup chili sauce and 1/3 cup grape jam. Stir occasionally until the moisture evaporates and a thick sauce forms around the meatless balls. Serve alone or over rice or couscous. Sherry P.S. These meatless balls would work really well with marinara sauce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 19, 2002 Report Share Posted March 19, 2002 We agree. My husband likes to make a "meatball" sandwich by adding a little spaghetti sauce and then putting them in a 6" roll. Great on spaghetti too! Robyn Sherry Rose <sherry wrote: Hi All,Just to let you know: Trader Joe's has vegan meatless meat balls in thefreezer section. They're really good.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2002 Report Share Posted March 26, 2002 Hi Sandra, I have absolutely no idea! That was the name on the original recipe when I started making them nearly 30 years ago. I notice that they bear a strong resemblance to " Swedish " meatballs. Actually, the meatless version is quite delicious.
