TOFU WALNUT "MEATBALLS" (VEGAN)

Steps:

• Mix first 4 ingredients in a large bowl.
• Add seasonings and mix until combined.
• Drain tofu and crumble with hands into the meatball mixture, mix.
• Add soy sauce and mix until all ingredients are incorporated.
• With clean hands, roll about a tablespoon's worth of mixture into a ball. If it is too dry to stick together, up to 1/2 cup water can be added. (I don't ever have to add water.).
• Continue to roll mixture into balls, and place onto a greased baking sheet, an inch or two apart. I use a cookie dough scoop to get mine a uniform size.
• Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes (depending on size), until nicely browned.
• Cool and transfer to container or bag for freezing, or serve hot as desired.
• (These work well as appetizers, or as part of a main dish with barbecue sauce, brown gravy, vegan stroganoff sauce, or Asian sauces.).
