  • Gather around, my lovelies for today we are going back to basics! In this episode, I will show you how to use some good old vegan ingredients, and by using a different method we are going to make the meatiest, tastiest meatless meatballs on the planet!
    INGREDIENTS:
    2 cups of TVP
    3 tablespoons (could be more, read the note below) of vital wheat gluten flour
    2 tablespoon of olive oil or vegetable oil
    1 medium onion, grated
    A squeeze of lemon or lime juice
    Fresh parsley
    FOR THE UMAMI BROTH:
    3 tablespoons of soy sauce
    1 teaspoon of vegan Worcestershire sauce (recipe below)
    1 teaspoon of garlic powder
    1 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder
    1/3 teaspoon of ground black pepper
    1/4 teaspoon of MSG or mushroom powder
    3 drops of liquid smoke or 1/5 teaspoon of powdered smoke
    1 tablespoon of tomato puree
    2 cups of water or veggie broth
    1 tablespoon of lemon or lime juice
    Salt to taste
    FOR THE TOMATO SAUCE:
    2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
    1 whole garlic clove
    Fresh basil leaves
    1 large tin of Italian peeled tomatoes or tomato passata
    Salt to taste
    Black pepper to taste
    Vegan parmesan
    Fresh parsley
    METHOD:
    Sift the TVP, discard the dust, set aside.
    *Make the broth:
    Add all the ingredients for the broth in a bowl, whisk it together until all is incorporated.
    Add the oil to a pan or a skillet, turn on the heat to medium, when the oil is hot, add the grated onions, sauté for a few minutes until lightly golden. Add the dry TVP, stir for about 4 minutes, be careful not to burn it.
    Add the umami broth to the skillet, little by little, until all the broth is gone and the TVP has completely absorbed the broth and looks dried out and cooked through, it is very important that you don't see any broth left on the TVP skillet before you turn off the heat.
    Add the umami broth to the skillet, little by little, until all the broth is gone.
    Drizzle the lemon juice, add fresh parsley. Turn off the heat, reserve.
    * Make the meatless Meatballs:
    Add the cooked TVP to a bowl along with the vital wheat gluten flour, a few more drops of lemon or lime, mix and squeeze it between your hands until all is incorporated. There will be some loose TVP flakes, this is not a problem, it will all be incorporated once it is processed later.
    Let the dough resting at room temp for 10 to 15 minutes. This step is very important for shaping the balls later.
    Add the meatless meatballs dough into a food processor, process them until all is incorporated, the time will vary according to your food processor.
    This step is very important for shaping the balls later.
    Form the meatless balls, put them in a baking sheet, and bake them for 25 - 30 minutes at 185℃ (390℉). You can also shallow fry them until golden brown on all sides or air fry them.
    It makes 20 to 25 meatless balls, depending on how big or small you shape the balls.
    * Make the tomato sauce:
    Add the extra virgin olive oil to a skillet in medium heat, when the oil is hot, add the whole garlic and the fresh basil leaves, stir for about 40 seconds, then add the peeled tomatoes or the tomato passata.
    Add salt and black pepper, let it reduce.
    Add the baked meatless meatballs in the sauce, mix the sauce with the meatballs, garnish with fresh parsley and vegan parmesan cheese.
    NOTE:
    1. The amount of vital wheat gluten flour will depend on how moist your cooked TVP is - if your cooked TVP ts more to the moist side, it'll require more gluten flour, if your cooked TVP is dryer, it will require less vital wheat gluten flour.

    I love that this channel doesn't double dip, as they like to say, by not saying or listing the full measurements/ingredients and making us click ad ridden sites instead for more money. It's gotten so annoying that I refuse to do it anymore. Thank you for adding it under the video!!

    Made these today and it was - as always with Chef Jana - delicious and very easy to put together. TIP for those trying out this recipe: be patient with the TVP, because it can take a loooong time for the broth to be completely absorbed (15-20 minutes in my case).
    Unfortunately, there were no "meat"balls left for freezing after my husband was done with dinner ;-)
    Will definitely be making these again! YUM

    We call this cuisine as "Kofta". This ball can be made with any vegetable, dairy or meat. Bind it with any kind of flour such as lentils or all purpose flour, add few spices such as chilli, coriander, onion, garlic, ginger etc and salt. Roll them into balls and keep in the refridgerator for a while and deep fry them. Throw them into tomato, onion and spicy gravy and enjoy as a side dish with rice or flatbread.

(meatballs in a lemon and caper sauce traditionally served with plain boiled potatoes) I simply have to adapt this recipe if I can find Vital wheat gluten in South Africa! Or could I use a little high gluten bread flour as a binder?

      You can try oatmeal flour and hydrated ground flaxseeds, add a bit more water to bind it if necessary :)

      Hi there! I have only one brand available here where I live so I kind of gave no choice but luckily it’s a good one! 😀 you choose the one that’s has only tomatoes in the ingredients. Sometimes they put salt and water but others than that, it shouldn’t have any other ingredient in it. 😉

    First of all thank you for this great recipe. Can I use wheat flour instead of wheat gluten flour also is liquid smoke/powdered smoke and Worcester sauce necessary cause I can't find those where I live? Thank you again 😊

    ... A very small amount of gravy master/kitchen bouquet will add a dark color to any preparation... My grandmother's meatballs always had pieces of garlic and it's nice to bite into them on a Sunday afternoon… Very nice recipe thank you Jana... God is good...😎

    Hi! Great recipe! thanks for that but is there a substitute for vital wheat gluten flour? I don't get it here in India.

    Can the Soy curls be replaced with some other ingredient. I'm allergic to soy. Your recipe looks fabulous.

    Meatballs look nice and I will definitely be trying them! :) but the sauce, well, I am Italian and we (my family) never make red sauce like that, but each to their own, there are multiple roads to Rome.

    Jana, thank you for another lovely recipe. Are you using soy curls or TVP? My TVP is dry little pieces and soy curls look like what’s in your video.

    • @ChefJana
      @ChefJana  3 года назад +1

      Yes, you use the smaller ones, the ones that look like dry ground beef :)

    I love your show and I would love using this recipe as my go-to meatball recipe. They were delicious, but I don't know what I did wrong when I fried them because they did not stay together. The outside was crisp but they fell apart. I had added an extra tablespoon of wheat gluten too when I formed them. The TVP I used were cubes so I chopped them into small pieces to start. I just don't know what went wrong. They meatballs were so tastie too. I ended up using them as crumbles on top of the spaghetti. ...so good. Help!

    • @ChefJana
      @ChefJana  3 года назад

      A couple things might have gone wrong; have you processed it? It is very important to process it so everything glues together. Also, because you have used chunks instead of fine curls, it might have not cooked long enough, resulting in a loose dough.
