[Vegetarianslimming] Re: Anyone have a good veggie meatball (neatball) recipe?

 

Hi,
I'm not sure if there is a Trader Joe's in your area but we ususally get the Trader Joe's Meatless Meatballs. They are wonderful:

Hi! The best I have made was a throw together spin off of Falafel. I used
the falafel recipe and added carrots,Zucchini, onion and garlic etc.
Anything I like and then just continued to follow the falafel recipe. I
add these Veggie balls to Spaghetti and eat them with cucumber and onion
salad on pitas. Traditional Falafel recipe
http://mideastfood.about.com/od/quickandsimplemeals/r/easyfalafel.htmand
add whatever you like easy simple Have a Great Day! ENJOY!!!

No suggestions here, sorry, just chiming in on what you find with
your recipe search. Yea, it is pretty crazy what people consider
vegetarian! I haven't made any meatballs from scratch but would love
to hear how it went when you find a low cal/fat recipe!

Have you looked through Vegetarian Times recipes online?

Re: [Vegetarianslimming] Anyone have a good veggie meatball (neatball) recipe?

 

How many balls does this make? Seems a bit on the heavy side to me.

Of course, indulging every now & then is alright but I probably wouldn't recommend this recipe to those looking for low fat/slimming meal ideas (unless it makes many many balls!!). :-)

Not quite sure this is what you're looking for, but we LOVE it.

5 eggs

1 C ground pecans

1 C cheddar cheese, grated

1/2 C cottage cheese

2 C Herb stuffing mix (I use Pepper Farm, shredded, not cubed)

1/2 t salt

1/2 C chopped onion

1/2 t sage

1 t basil

Mix all and form into meatballs. Put in a greased 9x13 baking dish.

Cover with spaghetti sauce and bake for about 45 minutes.

Debbie

[Vegetarianslimming] Anyone have a good veggie meatball (neatball) recipe?

 

I've done a few searches on the Internet using veggie and vegetarian as keywords. You won't believe some of the things people put into veggie meatballs and still use that word in the title. If it has ground round, poultry soup stock, etc....it ain't what I'm looking for! We are not vegan so eggs, cottage cheese, cheese are OK. Something to jazz up the spaghetti meals once in a while. I found a recipe that uses a package of cream cheese. Sounds good, but I'm not sure how the calorie intake would be even if I used the light brand.

I do make my own veggie burgers for the BBQ using canned kidney beans or black beans, whichever can I grab out of the cupboard first! My husband really likes them too, especially if I make a slip with the oatmeal and add lots of it to the mix. Oddly enough he doesn't eat cooked oatmeal with breakfast or anything. I'm almost thinking I could turn those into little balls instead of patties, but I'm checking if anyone has a decent recipe they can recommend. And again this would be for meatballs, so tomato sauce would be good. I saw a lot of recipes for sweet and sour that bake in the oven and some that call for baked in the oven topped with cream of mushroom soup. Not discounting them. May be good for some other time, but I like my spaghetti with a tomato sauce and veggies.

[Vegetarianslimming] Playing catch up

 

I have been under the weather yet again :-( but I hope to be back again now! I have to be before Saturday as that is when Toby arrives on the scene (we are going to collect him at 2 pm - well go for 2 pm then a couple of hours learning how to look after a pup!)

So before then we need to get some bits and bobs sorted - luckily Dr Dragon is off again tomorrow so we can get some bits done tomorrow - well first thing and then I will take him to the pub to say thank you for everything he does for me!

So he is currently off getting some milk so we can have cauliflower cheese tonight (nom!)
