Ingredients
1.25 cup Texturized Vegetable Protein soy crumbles/vegetable mince 0.25 cup Chickpea Flour + 2 tablespoons medium Yellow Onion minced 2 teaspoon Italian Seasoning 1 Flax Egg 1 tablespoon golden ground flaxseed + 1 tablespoon room temperature water
Equipment
Instructions
1
Make flax egg by combining 1 tablespoon golden ground flaxseed with 1 tablespoon of room temperature water.
2
Heat vegetable broth until steaming, pour over top your texturized vegetable protein and cover for 10 minutes. The TVP needs to soak in a liquid for rehydration.
3
Uncover your TVP, add soy sauce and mix until evenly distributed.
4
Add the rest of your ingredients including your flax egg, and mix with your hands until combined.
5
The mixture should appear crumbly but should form a mold when pressed/ squeezed together in your palm.
6
Use a tablespoon to scoop out the mixture to achieve balls that are consistent in size. Use your hands to gently press and roll the mixture into balls.
7
Place your veggie balls on a baking tray and bake for 20 minutes, flipping at the halfway mark.
8
Remove from oven and serve with your favorite tomato sauce, BBQ sauce or gravy over your side of choice.
