Ingredients
  

  • 1 package (12 ounces [340g]) soy free tofu
  • 2 egg replacers
  • 1 scant cup (70g) breadcrumbs
  • ½ ounce (14g) vegan parmesan, plus more for grating on top
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ sweet onion (about 2 ounces/65g) thinly sliced
  • 1 cup (250g) tomato sauce

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the egg replacer by following directions on the package. Once it is thickened add it into a food processor along with the tofu (break it up into big pieces with your hands), breadcrumbs, seasonings, and vegan parmesan. Pulse until it forms a mixture that can be rolled into a meatball.
  • Scoop about 1 heaping tablespoon of the filling into your hand and roll it into a ball. Repeat until all are made.
  • Pour the oil into a large pan and sauté the thinly sliced onion for 3 to 5 minutes over medium heat until it becomes fragrant. Add in the meatballs and pan fry each side for about 5 minutes until they become browned. I like to do at least 2 sides of the meatball.
  • Pour in the tomato sauce along with ¼ cup (60ml) of water. Let the meatballs cook in the sauce for another 10 minutes.
  • Grate extra vegan parmesan on top if you like and enjoy.
