I got this recipe from . Personally I think I'd like these meatballs a tad spicier. I used a nut oil instead of canola to fry the onion and garlic. I then used olive oil to fry the meatballs.
Ingredients:
8 ounces by weight of dry textured vegetable protein
1 3/4 cups boiling water
1 small onion, diced
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cilantro
salt and pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon tamari soy sauce
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon oil (for frying the onion and garlic)
1/4 cup oil (to fry the meatballs)
Directions:
1. Boil your water and add it to the TVP and let it rehydrate for at least 10 minutes. 2. Saute the onion and garlic in the 1 tbsp oil. Add spices and mix well. 3. Add to the TVP mixture. Add in the flour. 4. Mold into 1 inch size meatballs. Press them together hard to keep them from crumbling. 5. Fry in the 1/4 oil turning meatballs around to cook all sides until crispy and golden brown. 6. Yields about 3 dozen. 7. Bon Appetit!
