I just invented these on a whim because my non-vegetarian husband loved the "Tofu Nut Balls" recipe here, but I was out of the ingredients. This is a bit more like traditional meatballs. I don't work for Boca, but in a small town vegetarian choices are limited to what the Walmart will stock. They even held up to a short simmer in spaghetti sauce once baked. We both loved them! I even saved a few to add to a savory herb gravy for a po-boy. Mmmm...
