I can't believe my luck at finding you. Italian and vegan 👍thank you.
:D thank you and so nice to meet you Josie!!
This is the best vegan channel I've ever seen! Very smart cooking!
thanks Veronica :D so glad u like it :D
Second time making your meatballs. Added garlic bread , noodles made of quinoa, teff, amaranth, millet and sorghum and a Caesar salad. My 6 and 4 yr old tummies are so stuffed. I blended some down for our 9 month old and she is cooing. Your recipes have changed our home and health.
Thank you Mrs. Connie❤️️
so so happy doing a happy dance on this side
Do u have the recipe? for ur pasta u made with these flours please thans
The noodles can be purchased at a grocery store (not all stores though, you may have to order online) The brand name is Ronzoni Healthy Harvest Ancient Grain noodles and they even make a green noodle made of kale and spinach.
I like when you talk in your videos instead of just the music.
thank you Sonya :D
Me too! She has so much personality.
jwilli7434 Aww thank you!!!! Ur so sweet :D
thank you Jwilli!!!
Me too!
You posted the no talk version today. I just had to find this one. I personally like listening to you. You always add tips and explain why you do some things. For me it’s more personable 😊
awwwww ur soooo sweet :) thank you you made me smile :)
Connie's RAWsome kitchen 😊
I am just on the threshold of Vegan/Whole Food Plant Diet required by my health. I have spent the past few months searching and making recipes and only just discovered you. I believe a tedious struggle is over. As an Italian you can just imagine trying to adjust. You are a pleasure to watch and your video's leave me salivating. I have scrapped my accumulated recipes am scooping up your recipes building a new library. I look forward to enjoying meals again. Thank you Connie. PS: your videos are anything but long, you are the best, the very best . . .can't get enough of watching you and I love your side comments. You have a God given talent and I thank you for sharing.
aww ur so sweet Nick! thank you :D you made my morning!
Dear, sweet, crazy woman, RAMBLE ON !!! I so appreciate your cooking from scratch. You're an amazing cook.
ur so sweet :D yes I am a little crazy lol
OMG!!! Thankyou , i tell my family that you are my new best friend. They look puzzled, and then roll their eyes, until the food rolls out of the kitchen. Wonderful food, all 15 million recipes . I made three of your recipes yesterday. We had lemon chicken out of your seitan. I could eat it every day. the texture and flavor , winner. tonight we eat the meatballs with home made pasta. We sampled it yesterday, and my husband was sure it was meat. ,My son has been a vegan for 21yrs, and is in a wheel chair. and on a disability pension. The store bought vegan meat is so expensive, and not always available. Don't even get me started on the taste of some of them. We live in a beautiful little town in British Colombia Canada. It seems that availability and price sent me to youtube in search of you. I tried making seitan 10 yrs ago but just managed to make a large inedible mass of glue. With your genius i am back at it , this time with success, and maybe a couple of bucks in my purse. Keep up the amazing work.
OH MY thank you! thank you for sharing your story with me!!! Yes I too made glue in the beginning lol. And so glad you like my recipes!! You made my day!!!
Connie, I tried these and the recipe is added to my list of regulars. I made some tweaks, like using bulgur instead of TVP. Used your Montreal Steak Spice mix, and reduced the added oil. I baked the meatballs at 375F for 35 minutes, without coating them. They came out pretty hard and I thought they were inedible, but I threw half into my home made tomato sauce, and half into a "beefy" broth, and both batches came out great! The tomato sauce variety stayed firmer, and a true carnivore was fooled. Never realized that he was eating meatless balls, haha! The broth variety came out less firm but made great mince. Thank you for sharing the recipe!
fantastic! I will try bulgur next time for sure thanks for that tip!
The bulgur would be wonderfully nutty!
Bulgur is great in stuffings
OMG I just made this meatball they are to die for. Thank you so much Connie
soooo happy you liked them :) thank you for sharing!!! :D
Hi Connie❤️ we eat spaghetti when the cupboard is getting bare. I used the grain basics of your meatball recipe and used the bits I had in the fridge. I didnt have the veggies you used but I had some red and yellow pepper, some celery leaves, and green onions. Used vegan cream of mushroom soup I had in the freezer. I ground some fennel seeds with onion powder, some steak spice, garlic powder, nutmeg, oregano, red pepper flakes and black pepper. Added some no beef and roasted garlic bouillon. Used the nutmeg and cloves and added dried parsley.
These meatballs were the bomb. You show us how to be creative and use what we have by example. 💕 has always been part of my experience with your cooking. Thank you dear lady.
awww that awesome!!! Best food is food made with love and not scared of trying new things :D
made the meatballs yesterday! with a few adjustments, i think they turned out great. My family even liked it! left out the TVP, used our special spice in place of the "caribbean" spice, and used soy milk in place of the powder and water. ground up some dried mushrooms for the powder and baked the balls because ran short on time. (the kids came over)! they got overcooked but really softened up in the sauce. will definitely give this recipe another go! thanks
thanks for sharing this with me :) glad u all liked them :D
Connie I have grown a new attachment to you today. love your ways of cooking. You give the vibes of my mother or a favorite aunt! And also I can almost smell the food through my phone. lol All the spices just warm me up inside. I can't wait to get my hands on some of these ingredients so I can begin to make stuff like this and not buy the frozen Gardein ones. PS
.YOUR JEWELRY IS BEAUTIFUL. VERY BOHEMIAN:)
awww ur so sweet :) thank you love :) u made my night!
Making these tonite! All of your other recipes have been a success so I have no doubts about this one! And don't apologize for the length of your video, it's like watching a cooking show. Thanks Connie!
Aww thank you!!! I am always worried lol is it too long... did I blabber on...should I not talk... lol I am trying to please everyone
Connie's RAWsome kitchen not only did I enjoy making these...but my son ate TWO meatball sandwiches. I love the flavors from the clove and nutmeg and the consistency is perfect! You need your own cooking show, I'd never miss an episode. Can't wait to try the cheese next!
they are good if I say so my self hehehehe thank you so much Diane u rock!!! So glad ur son enjoyed them too :D xox
I’m so blown away how great at this you are! The meatless meatballs and sauce looked so so delicious! Thank you very much for all of the effort you put into the food you are making and the recipes and sharing your expertise and you’re charming, compassionate; dedicated, easy going about cooking what your cooking and how you teach us, and how loving and nurturing you are❤️!
OH MY ur so *sweet* thank you :D the pleasure is all mine.
I made these meatless balls earlier this week. OMG! Half of the seitan I made meatballs the other half I made meatloaf. I adjust your recipe slightly and added organic BBQ sauce and ketchup. The meatball were so good. I'm making another batch today to freeze. Thank you again Connie'sRAWsome kitchen for the great recipes!
Where have you been my whole vegan life? Oh momma! You're about to get soooo many views from me💚💚💚💚 I love you so much for being so f'ing awesome!
hehehe where have you been all my life! with compliments like this I am flying high on a kite ride! :)
Connie's RAWsome kitchen The steak recipe is freaking me out and, gonna happen this week! You are brilliant!!!!
hahaha thank you! but it's soooo good I love it cold on some sourbread and mustard with pickles...so freaken good!
These are best ever I froze the left overs. I made ravioli with wonton wrappers I followed a recipe for tofu ricotta it was tofu garlic powder oregano basil lemon juice pulse then add olive oil. I used my leftover Connie s meat sauce it was incredible
I'm sure your recipe for tofu ravioli would be ecstasy
so happy you liked the meatballs :) they will be great even after freezing :) thanks for sharing this Karen!! dinner sounds amazing!!
What can I say? Your husband is the luckiest man on Earth to have you on his side☺️🙏🏻
awww thank you :)
I really enjoy your videos. I'm so glad I found you on RUclips. I just started being vegetarian. No meat and no dairy. So your recipes are very inspiring
You got this! and thank you!!!
Hello Connie, I made your meatballs to die for, wow! My son and hunny (meat eaters) absolutely loved them! With your recipes, I'm certain they'll be vegans in no time. Many hugs to you.
aww thanks for sharing that with me :D and so glad u all love them Blessings to you!!! :D
My daughter is coming from England along with my granddaughter next week and I'm gonna have a vegan lasagna and these meatballs waiting for them to have when we get back from the airport. Connie's RAWsome kitchen, your recipies are to die for!!
Ur the best!!!! thank u!!! I can say u and they will love these for sure Alongside your beautiful Lasagna!!
Connie! (Squeals your Name) I am so over the Moon excited about these Meat balls. I got up early this morning and made them and the spaghetti sauce. I didn't have enough fresh basil to make pesto but I added the small bunch I did purchase yesterday, I couldn't find the soy powder mix so I used unsweetened soy milk in place of the water. I will have to grow my own fresh spices now. But these WERE AND ARE THE MOST DELICIOUS ITALIAN MEATBALLS I HAVE EVER, EVER, EVERRRRRR HAD! I have eaten in a few good Italian Restaurants, but nothing compares to these. I'm making a triple bath next time for sure. I gave a meatball to my room mate and she couldn't believe it wasn't made with hamburger meat, she's like Really these are not meat? I told her NO they are not, then she proceeded to ask me what they were made from and I told her. Your making it a joy to be a Vegan and stay the course. I look forward to making many more of your recipes. I want to make the ricotta and the mozzarella next so I can make Lasagna (my favorite italian dish. Thank you, Thank you. I praise God the day you were born.
you are so sweet!!! thank you :D so happy u like them :D yes the ricotta is a must!!! thank you for enjoying my channel and recipes!! :D
I just love your recipes (and you!).... I'm so thankful that I found you. I made your "seitan roast with a special surprise in it", and it was a game changer! I am trying these next. This is my husbands RUclips account, but my name is Jeni and I'd just like to say THANK YOU from one vegan Italian lady to another! Thank you for all you do and for giving so much time and effort to helping people live a compassionate life. ❤️
OH SO NICE to meet you Jeni!!
so delicious! Tears came to eyes when I started sautéing these beauties..The aroma was like my mother was here cooking... Thank you!!
true right :) it always brings me back to my mom cookng in the kitchen :D
This was the best gift to wake up to today!!! My daughter is going to be so excited. Her hubby lives for meatballs. My sister surprised me with a massive jackfruit last night so that's what's on my menu for the next few days. I put it in my grandsons car seat to drive it home last night and it's bigger than her is. Haha. Thank you for all your wonderfulness!!!
Oh perfect!!! :D OH Nice jack-fruit!!! Love it. Hopefully I will get some Duran this weekend. If I can manage to leave he house lol Let me know how u like the meatballs :)
Connie....I'm having a Connie marathon tonight. I'm sitting here on my couch for about three hours watching (and rewatching some) of your videos. I watch mostly on my TV and it's difficult to like as I go because it goes to the next video faster than I am...but when I am quick enough I get to do it otherwise, when I watch on my computer, I like them as I go. I'm making a sourdough starter tonight and I am making the jack fruit ribs for my dept at work next week. I'm going to bring in my panini maker and my George Foreman grill to grill before serving. I'll take pics of all the happy people and send them to you.
AWWWW ur too cute! I would love pics! post them on my fb :)
My husband has always been a meat and potatoes without the potatoes kinda guy, but decided that since I've been vegan and losing weight, he will try starting in January. It's so hard to find things that I think he will try, and you are a LIFESAVER, literally! He will eat this I'm certain because he's Italian! Thank you so much for sharing. I'm going to use his Grandma's sauce recipe and make these meatballs! He will be thrilled! I'm also going to check out the cheese videos. Seriously, you ARE a lifesaver. He's had two separate heart bypass surgeries and each one was a quadruple bypass. If he doesn't change his diet, his life expectancy will be shortened considerably. You don't know how much I appreciate this. From one Italian wife to another, GRAZIE! ;-)
OH THAT'S SO AWESOME!!!!! Oh he will love them :D Oh MY!!!! well then it's a good thing he's going vegan say bye bye to surgeries!!!! Gail ur very welcome!!! He will feel the best he's ever felt trust me when I tell u!
I am doing a happy dance for you all :D
I will let him know! His brother keeps teasing him telling him that eating vegan isn't 'manly' but as his doctor says, there's nothing manly about having clogged arteries. According to the doc, the first symptom of heart issues is erectile dysfunction. Nothing very manly about that, now is there? :)
hhahahaha very true. Tell him he will enjoy life better soon ;) :D
great that you have your ingredients on the screen, Thanx
ur so very welcome :D
Connie, I am revisiting this recipe as this was my first ever vegan recipe (and yours the first vegan channel) that I tries when I first went Vegan! I had made the Vegan Meat ball subs ... awesomeness! and since then made many other of your recipes (french toast, burgers, cheeses, etc.) - so many more I want to do! Such as the corned beef :) The other day met a random person at a bar and was discussing my vegan journey and he randomly related that he liked "Connie's channel" and that is where he learned to make VWG!! Thank you for you Love of food and the animals. Coming to your channel feels like coming home! Craving Italian Meatball subs with sauce, cheese and fried peppers!!! LOL
thank you Max!!!!! :D you made my day!!!
I am really impressed by your meatball recipe. Definitely plan to try and make this. Finding your channel has been so exciting for me...a new vegetarian looking for healthy food that helps me make my transition easier. Not only is it healthy...it looks very flavorful, not at all boring...the way many people perceive vegetarian food to be. Thank you and Aloha. Brenda from Hawaii!
Thank you Brenda!!!! :D And let me tell you these are sooo good. My family can't get enough. I made a big batch and froze some. And had the last of them a week ago. Need to make more!! :D.
I have just discovered your channel today and I am so grateful! And I love how you explain things , you remind me of so many people I know. I can’t wait to try these recipes. Thank you!
Made these came out delicious. Yes I do eat fruit and veggies plus my homemade juices like watermelon juice just blended. And refrigerated in mason jars.
so glad u like them :D
I discovered your channel today. I'm thinking I might add some cooked wheat berries for some extra chew. I have to say, I've been intimidated by the thought of making my own seitan, but you're so unpretentious and so experienced, relaxed, that I feel comfortable giving it a try.
Nice to meet you!!! :D humm sounds interesting I might have to give that a try. Glad I can incourage you in making your own vegan meats
My family is Italian and I am the only vegan. I will try this recipe on them
And they will love them :D come back and tell me
Which company made your favorite garlic press that broke? I am going crazy looking for a decent one that minces and slices. You truly are rAWESOME Connie!!!!!!!!! Will you ever do a cookbook?
I have tried various, vegan meatball recipes and have decent results. However, I just made your recipe and it by far the best ever. The texture and flavor is absolutely fantastic. The only thing I did different was add extra mushrooms and a few sundried tomatoes to compensate for lack of TVP, which I cannot readily find here. Thanks so very much for sharing the recipes and tips. This video is extremely helpful!!!
so so glad u like them :D These r good we can never make enough of them :D try making a big batch up to cooking in the pan and then freeze them. take them out and trop in sauce :D presto meatballs are ready :D
Another jewel of a recipe. I am looking forward to try it. Thank you very much, Connie!
aww... thank you Aida for following me :D and it's my pleasure
Just started watching you on you tube and love the way you cook your vegan recipes. I will be trying them out. Thank you 💕💖
Yay! Thank you! welcome aboard!!
The best vegan chef on line
you are so kind thank you!
Hi Connie :) I'm a vegan, based in Montreal also, and have recently gotten hooked on your channel. I have the same ways in the kitchen that you do lol! I just wanted to say thank you for writing the recipe down, it's going to be so much easier when I get around to doing this next week!
Thank you Monique
@@conniesrawsomekitchen I can tell you right now I make your chikn bouillon. I used some diastatic malt instead of soy milk powder (it seemed right at the time) and I am seriously impressed! I'm doing a fodmap protocol do no onions or garlic. I used dried garlic flowers and chives instead.
@@moniquechampagne6343 that's awesome :D
Hi Connie. I made this for the second time and it was 👌👌 ( first time the balls fell apart while cooking in the sauce)
My daughter and I have been having it in rolls, pasta or just straight out of the pot! Soooooo good. Definitely one of my favourite dishes to make if I want to impress vegan dinner guests.
Thanks so much for sharing another wonderful recipe xx
i think the relationship you have with your subscribers is really intimate. you probably cook the best meals at home. does the rest of the family cook with you?
hey handsome :) I see you changed your channel name!! Love it.... but ur still the dragon slayer to me :D hehehe. I cook alone SAM!!! hahaha But I love it :)
Connie's RAWsome kitchen alone can be fun, but with other people is as well. i love cooking with others. aaron and i felt the name change would be good. maybe ill make another channel called dragonslayer (do you think it was a good name haha ) ?
It can be fun for sure :D It is nice I like that you and your brother are doing it together :) But I did like the dragon slayer too :) Whats good now is if ur busy ur brother can pop a video up and vise versa. You should both do a cooking one :D Would love to see what you come up with!!
Connie's RAWsome kitchen oh connie! that is smart. both of us can do a similar video and see how they each come out. kinda like a challenge video but for video making. hmmm. ill have to think about how to do that.
that would be pretty cool actually :D
oh my goodness I could almost smell them through three Internet lol. they look sooooooooo good
hehehehe ur too cute :) they are good xoxo let me know if u try
I will
You are such a great teacher Connie! I could listen to you forever! What incredible food you make!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Wow, thank you!
made these this weekend - was INCREDIBLE. thanks for the recipe
thank you for sharing!!!! :D and so happy you enjoyed them!
Connie,thank you so much for this recipe and demo. These meatballs are absolutely wonderful. I can serve these to anybody and they will think they are meat. Terrific flavor and texture.
Thans Carol so happy you love them :D My daughter was asking for them yesterday lol. I guess I should wip up a new batch and put them in the freezer lol
I just made these because I just happened to have all the ingredients. They are awesome! I forgot to roll them in gluten flour before frying and they still came out perfect. So perfect that I could put a bamboo skewer through them and they held together. I didn't make the sauce because I plan to serve some jerk sauce on the side. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe. I know people are going to ask me for the recipe.
great! so happy u like them :) thank you for sharing this with me :)
Just made about 4-5 pounds of " meat balls" , they come out great . Thank you so much!
thank you glad u shared this with me :) makes me so happy to hear people like my food!
Two 11:30 at night and I just watched this video that looks so flipping delicious and now I’m obsessed with making a meatless meatball vegan sandwich! Connie you are soooooooo great at making foods that I crave! Thank you ! You are amazing and so inspiring!!!!
thank you :) u willlll love them :)
God Bless you Connie. You are so valuable to know.
thank you! I am blessed with you guys!!
Thank you for the tip about mushroom powder! Love your videos too.
You are so welcome! and Thank you!
Hello Connie, I made the meatballs today along with the pesto w/cheese. hubby grossed me out when he ate 3 subs. I made the mistake of washing the mushroom right before using it so I had to add more VWG, I ended up yielding 40 meatballs (lucky for hubby). I just want to thank you again for your videos. As Itold you previously, I am a new vegan as of May after being vegetarian for many years and was eating store bought mock meats which could be very expensive when feeding a family of 4. You have opened up a whole new way of living for me and I hope you understand the importance of your videos in my life (I'm sure I speak for most of your subscribers). I hope you don't mind me stalking you bc I am obsessed with your videos-I'm sure you on when I mention that I did 4 of you recipes today and will do it again as your recipes will live on in my home for as long as I'm able to cook. love you and please keep them coming. Hmmm, have you thought of writing a Vegan Cook Book? ; )
lol wow 3 subs he sounds like my hubby!!! As for mushrooms yes no washing!! :) But I am sure u managed to get the texture right after adding the VWG right?? :D You can freeze some for a latr date if u made too much :D gotta love those meatballs :D
You are so sweet thank you so much I feel so honored! :D knowing that I was able to help you go threw ur new journey!! And boy isn't it cheaper when u make ur own right :)
hehehe ur too sweet :) you make me happy to know u are enjoing my recipes :) Thank you thank you for sharing this with me :) And yes a book is in the works :)
just love the way you prepare your meals.I really have to try this one.
thank you :D and please let me know how you like them :)
I also buy at my Asian store and they sell a litteral Giant 5 lb bag of shitake mushrooms in a bag for 30$.. it over fills a 5 gal bucket.. we only need to buy about once a year. 👍🥰
Can't wait to try this recipe.. you make everything look amazing 😋👌
I love my Asian grocery store!!!
Yes! These are the best ever! Family approved!
:D thank you!
My husband is Italian and
Oh that's so awesome! I've been working hard at thes because of that reason. Th ones u buy are never right as a meat ball. These are up there...But if I improve them :) trust me I will share again!!
Making this one today Connie with homemade sub buns and homemade soymilk cheese. I live your videos so much! It's like sitting I your kitchen with you 😁
Awww ur so sweet!! Oh my that sounds amazing!!! everything homemade is god :D Thank you for sharing this with me!!!
misosaltee care to share your soymilk cheese recipe?
Love your videos Connie xx your voice reminds me of the actress Mercedes Ruel xx
thank you! hahaha she has my deep voic :D
Sorry for the very long video! But I hope you will all enjoy this recipe, and please come back and share what you think of them
Connie's RAWsome kitchen FYI, I enjoy your videos lengthy or not. Honestly, I even watched a video several times to make sure my seitan is prepared perfectly!.....I attempted to make buffalo wings (following someone else's recipe) smelled great - taste NASTY - insides SCARY! I need details!
thank you!! :D
I'TS NEVER TOO LONG!
Really enjoy watching your recipes, but a little bit of 'mise en place', would really help to speed them a long a bit. Most of the time I find I have to set the playback speed to 1.5 or greater. Unfortunately there just aren't enough hours in the day.
I Love You Connie!! Your on my bucket list 🥰 Your recipes are Totally Delicious; Healthy and Accessible! I’ve worked in Health Food Stores and I have learned a lot ; and i’m still learning at 68!! Thanks to You💐
I can't wait to try this recipe and many other of your recipes. No nonsense cooking with a gourmet flavor!
aww yes these r so good!! Let me know how u like them :D
I'm late to the show, but WOW!! Thank you for sharing! I cant wait to make this this weekend! My mouth is watering!!
not to say but you will love them :D
Connie, I LOVE your recipes; you are a genius! You left out the chick pea flour on the printed recipe in your video. I don't want to leave it out! Thanks and keep up your amazing work.
Did I O.O I will go check
Ground walnuts also add fat and help with the “ground beef” texture. The portabella mushroom, combined with the wheat gluten, TVP, chickpea flour, Panko Bread crumbs- this is the creation of a basic ground beef recipe. Can make meatloaf too.
for sure :)
Love listening to you always learn so much thank you
So glad! And thank you! You made my day!
These are the best vegan meatballs! My daughter and son in law who are meateaters thought they were the real thing!
hehehe glad they like them :D
😯Oooh! WOW!!!!! Connie! Much thanks to you for sharing your recipe for “Cheat Balls “! Making these for the Holidays!

Thank you so much :D I am so happy I can share all of this with you!
So happy I found your channel!! My meat-eating hubby is reluctant to try vegan "meat", but I think your recipes will win him over! Thanks for all you do. :)
Oh he will love these that is for sure. U will be making meatballs all the time :D
Thank you so much for sharing your great recipe of "meat balls"! 🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺💚💚💝
Thank you :) let me know how u enjoy them :D
CANNOT WAIT TO DO THIS EVENING .!!d). Yumm ..!! But your comment Connie .... about the Portabella Mushrooms skin being soo tough. You are RIGGGHT ..!! I wonder if they could be SKINNED SOMEHOW and used as a say DUMPLING wrap ..??? OC cabbage leaves work too. But. Shrooms would be soo tender once steamed like a traditional flour wrap. IDK. Just a thought. May be too much trouble but i could see them blanched and plyable.. im getting soo hungry. 😂. Anyway. Untill your next Vid 🙏🙌🏻💝🤗👍
you have to tell me how u like them :D dumpling wrap not sure lol
Ooh my GOD everything that you make is good Bless You ,Connie,,
These are sooooooo good! The only change I made was that I did not have pesto so I just added a tablespoon of dried basil and a little extra olive oil. This recipe is so versatile, you can tweak it so many ways. I love that. Thank you so much :-) They are DELISH!!
So happy u like them :D they are almost like my meat original meatball :D
@@conniesrawsomekitchen Well, my husband doesn't really care for vegan meat substitutes but these meatballs he loves! I think it's because you really layer a lot of flavors and it makes it huge difference. With seitan you need lots of flavor added and the way you spice things is perfection! Thank you again and have a wonderful day!
@@kerryvandeusen4289 So happy u like them :D Thank you!
I tried this and it was wonderful. It smelled wonderful too
yummy meatballs :D thank you!
Tried these last night and they were fantastic!
I like that you have all the ingredients listed on the video.
Great!!! u have to come back and let me know how u liked them :D
LOVE your recipes. I have the day off today and making your meatballs today.
YOU WILL LOVE THEM :D thank you!
this looks delicious i want to try making this
it is u must try!!!
Hi Connie, is there any reason that I couldn't try using a bit of red wine to steam the meatballs instead of water? I think the flavor it would add would be very complimentary, but I just don't know that much about seitan and wondered if there might be a reason that you don't use wine? Thank you! I'm just working my way through your recipes, so this will be on the table tomorrow! Hubby says he doesn't need to eat meat, dairy or eggs as long as I keep these kinds of meals coming! I'm so happy!!! :)
AMAZING!! 😋💖💯
I'm glad you like it
i love it, i will make this soon. love from a norwegian newbie-vegan
awww thank you love back! enjoy!
You the vegan cooking guru! Grazie bella Donna!
thank you!!
Just found your channel!! Can't wait to make these!! Also hello from Nashville, TN.
i'm going to give this a try....looks fantastic!.....It's been at least 5 yrs since I've tried making seitan.....but you have inspired me...lol
so happy I did and I can promise you u will be happy u tried these :D
Wonderful recipe, thanks! Love you!
to clean the pesto from the bottle you can put the water into the bottle close the lid and shake it and then pour it out and add other ingredients
yes that little bit of water I add... I should have put it in the pesto jar than added to the mixture :) good catch
Looks absolutely delicious and tasty 😊
It is!
I made these last night for dinner and they are as good as they look! I had a little trouble keeping the onion in them though, it kept falling out so I chopped what fell out smaller and that worked. I've never had a seitan quite as much like real meat before, it was a little weird eating them at first but I managed lol. Thank you!
hahah glad u liked them :) I have been working on these for 9 years and still trying to perfect them the artist in me n ever stops lol. but I am happy u like them! :)
I loved them! Wow, 9 years, you're persistent! I had them like a sub, so yummy! I didn't have the Carribean Spice in them either but I found that on your channel too so I'm going to make it and add it to my collection of spices. :-)
yes lol I remember back then there was no vegan food to buy. had to learn to create and make foods by memory taste if I wanted to eat things I remembered. And then coming from an Italian family I had to learn to make those Italian dishes. like the cutlets... stuffed olives. so yes my kitchen was my life if I wanted my hubby on board too :) Now he's vegan for 7 years very proud of him! :)
I found the same thing and have 'veganised' most of the dishes I grew up with. Like you say, there wasn't much in the shops those days so I made up my own. I use Tvp a lot and it's been great for dishes like my chilli. I love Italian food... well, I love all foods. Congrats to your husband too!
life is really getting better for vegans. and thank you!
Connie you are Awesome! I love you!😀😄
Thank you :D have you tied them yet??? If not let me know when you do :)
