[edit] Ingredients

1

soft tofu (about 12 oz.)

1

tablespoon vegetable oil

1

sm. onion, finely chopped

1

clove garlic, minced

1

sm. carrot, grated

½

green pepper, finely chopped

½

teaspoon dried basil

tablespoon ground fennel seeds

¼

teaspoon dried oregano

¼

cup walnuts, ground or finely chopped

Egg replacer (equivalent to 1 egg)

1

cup whole wheat bread crumbs

¼

cup chopped fresh parsley

1

teaspoon dijon mustard

½

tablespoon dark sesame oil

1

tablespoon tamari soy sauce

Freshly ground pepper to taste

[edit] Preparation

Step 1

Egg replacer can be purchased at "Nature Food Store".

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the tofu between 2 weighted cookie sheets and set aside for about 20 minutes. In a skillet, heat the oil and saute the vegetables and the herbs for 10 minutes or until tender. In a large bowl, fold in egg replacer, then add the remaining ingredients. Mash the pressed tofu either with a potato masher or your hands and add it to the bowl, along with the sauteed vegetables. Stir well - the mixture should be firm enough to form into balls. Using your hands or 2 spoons, pat the mixture into 1 1/2 inch balls and place on an oiled baking sheet. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until dark brown and firm to the touch. Serve with spaghetti and sauce.

Step 3

Suggestion: Use ice cream scoop to form even balls. Makes about 12 meatballs.
