EMERIL'S MOCK MEATBALLS AND MARINARA SAUCE
Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. 2. In a small sauté pan, over medium heat, add the olive oil, when hot add the garlic and onions and cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until the onion is soft and translucent. In a large heat resistant bowl, combine the onions and garlic with the textured vegetable protein and the Parmesan cheese, basil, oregano, crushed red pepper, salt, Worcestershire and all purpose flour; mix well. Add the water, bit by bit, until the mixture is damp and can hold its shape. 3. Shape the meatballs, either using a medium size ice cream scooper or with your hands. Meatballs should be about 1 ½ inches. Place the meatballs on a greased baking sheet and brown them in the oven, about 20- 25 minutes. Alternately, the meatballs can be browned in a sauté pan with a little olive oil, rolling them in the pan in order to keep their shape. 4. Serve with warm marinara sauce, pasta and grated Parmesan cheese.
