meatball substitute

[Guest guest]

Does anyone have any recommendations??? Any brand/recipe impress you?

 

I tried out a bag of frozen meatless meatballs from Trader Joes last night and

they weren't popular with the hubby. They were distinctively light (kinda

bready/tofuy) and didn't even come close to having any flavor or substance.

I used them in a sweet and sour meatball recipe so maybe they'd fare better in a

tomato-based sauce atop some pasta. Not sure.

I like Nate's.  Whole Foods carries them where I live.  If you try them, let

me know what you think.  I did use them in a tomato sauce.

 

I can't remember if I liked Trader Joe's version.  I know I tried them a long

time ago.

I am not a fan of pre-made fake meat products, but I thought what the heck, I'll

try this sausage recipe (I did not make the pasta, just the sausages). They

were fantastic! I steamed like suggested, and then I sliced them and browned

them before adding tomato sauce, onions, garlic, peppers and spices. Also put

them on a vegan pizza after browning. YUMMY.

 

That website fatfreevegan.com is a great resource!
