Vegetarian Meatballs.................?

[MarsLady]

Can you make them with Quorn mince?

Can you make them at all? If so.... how and what with?

Am doing meatballs and spaghetti for tea and DD1 is a confirmed veggie (though not too keen on veg... work that one out lol).

So... can you help me please? Am going to the supermarket a bit later, have Quorn in the freezer..... anyone?

Please!

cut the stalks off mushrooms .. voila

I've never tried making them, sorry.
I think Quorn do some kind of meatball - think they're called Swedish meatballs?

mars..
You can get Quorn swedish style meatballs, and they're not too bad actually.

Thinking of doing them for the kids tonight, with Spag too!

You will never make a vegetarian meatball, Mars

Helpful bunch, aren't we? Snurk at Twiglett

get the message!!!!!

Avalon and Unicorn.... thank you!

As to the rest of you.... the second word is off!!!!!! lol

I've never tried it so don't know how it tastes but I did see a recipe once which used Quorn or TVP to make meatlessballs - it was basically a pack of Quorn mince (or TVP), a packet of sage and onion stuffing mix, and an egg to bind. Mix them in a bowl then squidge together with your hands, then fry them.

could you use a nutloaf type recipe and bind using eggs?

or get a felafel mix?

thank you WWB and ginger

mmm, Felafel, salad and pitta bread for tea, yum...
What is that sauce they serve with felafel? Tahini?

Tahini indeed!

1 tbsp olive oil
small red onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
70z veggie mince
1 tsp dried mixed herbs
1 tbsp tom puree
1 tbsp passata or chopped tinned toms
1.5 slices bread made into breadcrumbs
i egg, beaten
black pepper

preheat oven to gm6
fry onion and garlic in oil
add mince, herbs, passata and tom puree, cook for 5 mins
stir in breadcrumbs, remove from heat
cool to room temp, then mix in egg
mould into balls (can be frozen at this point)
place on greased baking tray and bake for 20 mins til browned

havent tried these yet myself but they sound nice!

now, now marsy .. I was particularly proud of my mushroom suggestion .. I even chortled as I typed

That's a coincidence, Twig - I chortled as I read!

Hey, happy birthday, btw
