Guest guest Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 I used to make Swedish meatballs. I got a craving for them recently, so I tried using the Morningstar smart ground or whatever it's called. The meatballs for the Swedish are made wiht the same recipe as regular meatballs, garlic, onion breadcrumbs etc etc. so I made them and I was highly disappointed. The first meatball was good, but after the second it started to leave a bitter aftertaste, and 2 was all I could eat. I am going to try meatballs again soon. This time I am gonna use a little of the smart ground, but also some lentils, oats, tvp, mushroom, and beet. I will let you know how these come out but it won't be for like another 3 weeks.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 its not for tofu balls but it looks amazing! Lentil Balls! I got this from the meatout mondays weekly email... Lentils are amazing legumes! Quick and easy to prepare compared to most dried beans, lentils readily absorb delicious flavors from other vegetables and seasonings. Low in fat and high in protein and fiber, these tasty legumes are packed with nutrients. Lentils, available throughout the year, can make for an invigorating, fulfilling meal. Try this recipe and you’ll see. This unique Gentle Lentil Ball sub highlights the versatility of lentils and is much healthier than a meatball sub. Ingredients: 3 cups water or vegetable stock 1/2 cup lentils, rinsed 1/2 cup brown rice 2 tsp. dried basil 1 ½ tsp. dried oregano 1/2 tsp. dried thyme 1/4 cup onion, finely diced 1/2 cup green & red peppers, finely diced 2 Tbs. green onion, minced 2 Tbs. fresh parsley, chopped 1 Tbs. soy sauce 1 tsp. garlic powder 1/2 tsp. salt 1/8 tsp. black pepper safflower oil 2-3 cups marinara sauce 6 submarine rolls (6 " ) or hot dog buns Directions: Place water or vegetable stock in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Add lentils, brown rice, and dried herbs. Cover saucepan, reduce heat to low, and simmer until lentils are tender (about 35 minutes). Drain excess liquid;add onion, peppers, green onion, parsley, garlic powder, salt, & pepper. Using a potato masher, mash the mixture well to combine all of the ingredients. Taste, adjust seasonings, as needed, and set mixture aside to cool slightly. Lightly oil a non-stick cookie sheet, and set aside. Shape cooled lentil mixture into balls (about 1¼ " around) and place on the cookie sheet. Using your fingers, rub a little safflower oil over the top of each lentil ball. Bake at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes (until lentil balls are lightly browned on the outside). To assemble the sandwiches: split open the roll, spoon some marinara sauce onto the bottom, place 4 of lentil balls into the roll, and top with some additional sauce. --- cd trader <realshows wrote: > I recently got a craving for meat balls > > I was thinking of using the imititation ground beef, > but i'd rathe use regular tofu > > anyone try it before?
