Happy day community, my entrance to the challenge initiated by @healthsquared, is with a delicious dish: vegan meatballs.
On my list of things to do was make vegan meatballs and use the tempeh in the kitchen, so I decided to prepare this recipe, which has left me with my mouth open. It is somewhat more elaborate than others, but it is worth trying and doing it even once in a while, in addition, if you have a good food processor, it makes your task much easier.
To avoid so much bread crumbs, I have also added almond and chickpea flour, but if you want to simplify the recipe you can add only bread crumbs, although you may have to throw less because it is more dense. If you want to make them gluten-free, you can try to substitute the breadcrumbs for another flour that is suitable for you or gluten-free breadcrumbs.
Chickpea flour gives it a very rich touch that reminds me a bit of falafel, but if you do not like that flavor you can eliminate it without problems and add bread crumbs until they have the perfect consistency.
Ingredients for 3 people
2 unit (s) of ripe tomatoes
2 unit (s) of Garlic
1 unit (s) of Onion
2 unit (s) of Carrot
1 glass of frozen pea
1 pinch of sweet paprika
1 pinch of ground black pepper
1 teaspoon of Parsley
1 pinch of salt
1 glass of wheat flour
50 grams of Bread mold two slices
1 unit (s) of Vegetable broth (bucket) in half a liter of water
150 grams of Fine textured soy
2 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil
1 cup of Soy drink Yosoy
We put the soya in soak for half an hour. We drain well.
While we peel the garlic, the onion and the carrots and chop.
Lightly fry one of the garlic, onion, carrots and peas in a little oil. Add the peeled and chopped tomatoes and let stand for 5 minutes. We pour the broth or water. add a little salt, pepper and paprika. Cover and let cook over very soft fire.
Meanwhile, we prepare the meatballs, putting in a bowl the bread crumbled and wet in the milk (little quantity, just to moisten the bread), the soy well drained, the other garlic, the chopped parsley and a little salt.
Mix well and with this dough form meatballs. Flour them. Fry them lightly in a little oil and when they are golden we take them out, we can drain them on absorbent paper.
We add them to the casserole where we have the sofrito with the vegetables and let it cook for a few minutes.
If you drain well the soybeans will be perfect, otherwise, you can not form well the meatballs, you can add a bit of cornstarch to the dough.
