MEATLESS MEATBALL SLIDERS



Meatless Meatball Sliders image

I'm not typically a 'meatless meat' person, but this blend sold me on the concept. It uses simple ingredients I always have on hand. It also has a good dose of protein, just like meat!

Provided by Molly Yeh

Categories     appetizer

Time 30m

Yield 6 meatless meatball sliders

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup almonds or walnuts, toasted
2 cloves garlic
1 cup panko or matzo meal
1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
2 tablespoons dried parsley
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 large eggs
3 1/2 cups (28 ounces) tomato sauce
Canola or vegetable oil, for frying
12 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced 1/4 inch thick
Fresh basil leaves, for topping
6 slider rolls, toasted
Chopped fresh parsley or basil, for topping

Steps:

  • Combine the nuts and garlic in a food processor and pulse to a coarse crumb. Add the panko, Parmesan, parsley, a big pinch of salt and a few turns of pepper and pulse to combine. Add the eggs and process until the mixture holds together in a ball. Roll the mixture into 1 1/2 tablespoon-size balls, packing just firmly enough so they hold together but not so much that they toughen. Put the balls on a plate or sheet of parchment paper.
  • Warm the tomato sauce in a large pot over medium heat.
  • Heat 1/4 inch of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the balls in batches, turning, until they're golden brown on all sides, 7 to 10 minutes. (Alternatively, you can deep-fry the suckers if that's what you're into.) Add to the tomato sauce.
  • Put 1 slice of mozzarella, 2 balls and 1 or 2 basil leaves on each roll. Serve with additional sauce and chopped parsley or basil on the side.

Time 45m

Yield Serves 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tbsp olive oil
12 beef meatballs

50g butter, melted
1 tsp dried oregano
20g grated parmesan

Lay the bottoms of the rolls in a roasting tin lined with a sheet of scrunched-up baking parchment or foil. Spread the tomato sauce over, then place one meatball on every roll. Sprinkle over the mozzarella, then cover with the tops of the rolls, pressing down gently.
  • Brush with the melted butter, then sprinkle over the oregano and parmesan. Cover with foil and bake for 20 mins, uncovering for the final 5 mins so the tops become golden.
