2 cups coarsely ground walnuts (you can use pecans or any nut you prefer)

1 liter extra firm tofu, that has been drained well and the excess water squeezed out
2 celery ribs, diced
1/4 cup soy sauce, unfermented
3 tablespoons onion flakes
3 tablespoons dried parsley
1 teaspoon sea salt (you can use regular salt if you prefer)
1/4 teaspoon sage
1/4 teaspoon marjoram
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast flakes
beef gravy or spaghetti sauce, to top when they come out of oven

Steps:

Mash tofu with fork or potato masher until crumbly and as small as you can get it.
Add seasonings and soy sauce to tofu and mix very well.
Add bread crumbs, walnuts, celery and onion flakes. Mix well.
Mix and knead with hands in bowl to incorporate everything well until the right consistency to form into "meat balls." Make them any size you want.
