Walnut Meatballs With Apricot Barbecue Sauce image

Found in the Cooking Pleasures magazine. I am always on the look out for vegetarian foods since my daughter started eating no meat. These actually look good. I am posting here for her. I have not tried this recipe. But I am planning this as a meal when she comes home for a visit.
