Best Plant-Based Sweet & Sour Meatballs! (Better Than Takeout!)
Welcome to the Whole Food Plant-Based Cooking Show! In this episode, host Jill takes you through a deliciously simple recipe for Sweet and Sour Meatballs that promises to outshine takeout. These meatballs are star players in the vegetable world, featuring a blend of mushrooms and onions as the key ingredients. Jill demonstrates how to sauté these veg until their natural flavors shine, all without oil!
The secret to achieving the perfect texture lies in using frozen and then thawed tofu, ensuring a firm base for the meatballs. Combined with kidney beans, oats, walnuts, and a touch of flaxseed for binding, these meatballs are rich in flavor and nutrition.
Next, Jill crafts a tangy sweet and sour sauce using pantry staples like tomato paste and vinegar, along with a sweetener that draws from nature—dates! As the meatballs bake to perfection, the sauce simmers until it’s thick and fragrant.
Ideal for a quick weeknight dinner or meal prep, these plant-based Sweet and Sour Meatballs are surprisingly easy to make and are certain to leave your taste buds dancing. Join Jill on this culinary adventure and say goodbye to store-bought options!
