Categories     Potato

Time 1h34m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 -4 medium potatoes
1 vegetable bouillon cube
1 cup ground almonds (a coffee grinder works well for grinding nuts)
4 tablespoons ground flax seeds
salt & pepper, to taste
1 medium onion, chopped
4 -5 tablespoons olive oil or 4 -5 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Place potatoes in medium saucepan, cover with water, add vegetable cube, and boil until potatoes are soft.
  • Drain water from potatoes (saving the water to make gravy), mash and let cool.
  • In the meantime, heat oil in small frying pan, add onions and cook until they just start to brown.
  • Place flax seed in small bowl, add ¼ cup of hot water and let stand for about 10 minutes for flax seed to absorb the water.
  • When the potatoes have cooled add the soaked flax seed and water, ground almonds, salt, pepper, and cooked onions.
  • Mix together and roll into small balls.
  • Heat olive oil in large fry pan; add the balls and brown nicely on all sides. Transfer the balls into a shallow cooking dish, and cook for approximately ¾ hour at 350°F.
  • While the meat(less) balls are cooking, make a vegetarian gravy.
  • Pour over the balls and continue cooking for an additional 20 minutes.

These meatballs were okay, but I've had better. I think I would have preferred a different recipe.

These meatballs were a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I would have preferred them with a milder flavor.

These meatballs were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would have preferred them with a bit more sauce.

I'm a big fan of Swedish meatballs, and these meatless balls were a great alternative. They were just as flavorful and satisfying, but without the meat.
