I love that this channel doesn't double dip, as they like to say, by not saying or listing the full measurements/ingredients and making us click ad ridden sites instead for more money. It's gotten so annoying that I refuse to do it anymore. Thank you for adding it under the video!!
Made these today and it was - as always with Chef Jana - delicious and very easy to put together. TIP for those trying out this recipe: be patient with the TVP, because it can take a loooong time for the broth to be completely absorbed (15-20 minutes in my case). Unfortunately, there were no "meat"balls left for freezing after my husband was done with dinner ;-) Will definitely be making these again! YUM
ughhhhh i can’t wait to make this. i haven’t had spaghetti in so long because i don’t eat pasta but i’ve been growing zucchini all summer. zoodles and meatballs. i CANT WAIT. this recipe looks amazing
I made these today. Before I put them in the processor, the crumbles looked and tasted so yummy. Once in the processor...they were too blah in texture. Next time, and there will be a next time, I will just pulse a few times. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with TVP. :)
These look amazing! I’m not going to be making them until later today but I can already tell they’re good because your recipes never let me down. I really love your channel. I love that you write out the ingredients underneath, it’s so helpful. I think your channel is way under appreciated and deserves a lot more subscribers. Thank you for all the work you put into sharing your recipes ❤️
Delicious and oh so easy .Interesting fact about soya and the dust which affects taste .Your know so much .We get recipes and amazing facts :) Thanks Jana 👍🍷
Crazy, I've made soy meatballs for lunch today just as this video was released! They were ok, but your version looks so much better. Gonna try it next time! Obrigado!
Well thank God that you made this recipe, because I love meatballs. And that's something that I really miss and I know that yours are going to be terrific period And I know that they're going to be landing in my mouth really soon as well. your kitty is outside the window waiting for meatballs now your marinara sauce looks wonderful. I really like your method of cooking and preparing the meatballs.... So genius as usual!! Thank you so much Chef Jana
I made these 'meatballs' the other day, but wanted to freeze them so I steamed them for 20 minutes. We've just had them for dinner and they were delicious. I'll definitely be making them again.
Jana, I made this today and it turned out great! The meatballs are so flavorful, and I baked them, they came out crispy on the outside. Thanks for the wonderful recipe 👍❤️
I love your show and I would love using this recipe as my go-to meatball recipe. They were delicious, but I don't know what I did wrong when I fried them because they did not stay together. The outside was crisp but they fell apart. I had added an extra tablespoon of wheat gluten too when I formed them. The TVP I used were cubes so I chopped them into small pieces to start. I just don't know what went wrong. They meatballs were so tastie too. I ended up using them as crumbles on top of the spaghetti. ...so good. Help!
A couple things might have gone wrong; have you processed it? It is very important to process it so everything glues together. Also, because you have used chunks instead of fine curls, it might have not cooked long enough, resulting in a loose dough.
Hi Chef, I made these a couple of days ago and thye wife & I both agree - - - D E L I C I O U S 😁😁😁 delicioso. Plus, they refridgerate and reheat well. Next, we'll freeze the remaining and use them later in another recipie. Thank You for sharing your delicioso vegan recipies and expanding our menue options. Hope all is well with you & your family. Cheers!
This is delicious! Today I will make patties using seasonings for sausages. Thank you so much for your recipes and especially the tips explaining things of the ingredients, such as the dust of TVP.
OMGosh what a happy catty! He's beautiful. And THANK YOU so much Chef Jana! I have been missing Konigsberger Klopse so much. (meatballs in a lemon and caper sauce traditionally served with plain boiled potatoes) I simply have to adapt this recipe if I can find Vital wheat gluten in South Africa! Or could I use a little high gluten bread flour as a binder?
Hi! I just made them and they tasted great! They sadly fell apart a bunch, do you have any suggestions for holding them together more? Should I add more vital wheat gluten? Thank you very much for all of your great recipes!
Thanks, Jana; I've got to make these; I didn't know they'd be that easy. I've been buying the Gardein meatballs, but I'll bet these are better. I haven't had a meatball grinder in eons; looking forward to a vegan version.
OMG, it’s in the middle of the night and silly me had to watch this - and of course, now I’m soooooo hungry, it looks soooooo yummy! I do mine in the oven too. I found a fantastic thick aluminum pan with individual meatball holes on aliexpress, lets the meatballs stay perfectly round, as if deep fried! Loooove it! 😊👏💚🌱🍀✅
Jana, can I use ground flax seed as a binder in place of the vital wheat gluten? I am allergic to wheat. Thank you. If so, how much? Or can you suggest another GF binder alternative? Thank you.
This looks SO good and never heard anyone explain how to cook it WITHOUT rehydrating. Love that! Wait a minute... I’m thinking if we can make meatballs this way, I’m guessing we can make hamburgers too yes? Got any TVP hamburger recipes here already?
... A very small amount of gravy master/kitchen bouquet will add a dark color to any preparation... My grandmother's meatballs always had pieces of garlic and it's nice to bite into them on a Sunday afternoon… Very nice recipe thank you Jana... God is good...😎
Firstly, JayJay is adorable 🥰 I made these non meat balls tonight. After a full day at work! They are amazing. I finished dinner then put the rest in the refrigerator. I keep thinking about going back for more. Thank you for this recipe Jana.
Yes however, your sauce could taste like gluten. I always like to sear the “meats” every time I make them using gluten flour, and only then I add them to the sauce as opposed to cook them directly in the sauce. 😉
Hi Chef Jana. This looks like such an amazing recipe. I can’t wait to try it. I was just wondering if you can recommend a great brand of Passata sauce? Thank you 😺
Hi there! I have only one brand available here where I live so I kind of gave no choice but luckily it’s a good one! 😀 you choose the one that’s has only tomatoes in the ingredients. Sometimes they put salt and water but others than that, it shouldn’t have any other ingredient in it. 😉
How can I freeze those? You don't mention the manner in the video. It's my second time making this recipe, and I left about half a cup of liquid, so it was in a better (dryer) texture. I absolutely love your recipe, very glad I found it.
You can add them to a baking sheet separately and put them in the freezer, once the balls are firm, transfer them to aplastic bag, seal it and return them to the freezer. :)
Love it, Jana! Can you kindly suggest a substitute for the vital wheat gluten for those of us with autoimmunity? Thank you so much for all your wonderful content!! 🙏🏼
You can try oatmeal flour, then add soaked chia seeds or soaked flaxseeds, add the oatmeal flour, the chia or flaxseed and let it test for 20 minutes, just like the recipe asked for. It might need a few teaspoons of water, you’ll be the judge of that. 😉❤️
@@ChefJana Thank you so much!!! You are amazing, and I really appreciate you taking the time not only to teach us all, but to provide alternative ingredients ❤️
@@ChefJana Thank you for the tip! I was thinking oat flour would be a good alternative but with the chia mix, it will probably help even more to bind everything together. I can't wait to try this recipe now! I will let you know how it works! You deserve so much more subscribers! Your recipes are fabulous and you provide so many tips! It makes all the difference when you try to go meatless.
We call this cuisine as "Kofta". This ball can be made with any vegetable, dairy or meat. Bind it with any kind of flour such as lentils or all purpose flour, add few spices such as chilli, coriander, onion, garlic, ginger etc and salt. Roll them into balls and keep in the refridgerator for a while and deep fry them. Throw them into tomato, onion and spicy gravy and enjoy as a side dish with rice or flatbread.
I haven’t tried boiling them, but if you’re trying to avoid finding them, you can put them in the air fryer if you have one and they should be perfect ❤️
This looks gorgeous - and that's coming from someone from an Italian family!! My question is....what can we use instead of soy? Thank you for your fabulous recipes and for being such a bright spot on YT!!
I love that this channel doesn't double dip, as they like to say, by not saying or listing the full measurements/ingredients and making us click ad ridden sites instead for more money. It's gotten so annoying that I refuse to do it anymore. Thank you for adding it under the video!!

Yes!! I agree!
Also, not having a scroll through an entire blog to find the recipe.
The cat in the background!😻
He makes a special appearance in the end too! 🥰
I though I was the only one who say that😂
is it real? looks like statue

Yeh!!!! Just what I’ve been waiting for! A new recipe.
I love your videos, you’re one of the best vegan chefs of TH-cam xx
Yay! Thank you!
Totally agree!
Janaaa, i've been thinking of trying to use tvp like this for ages, but didn't know what else to use, i'm so happy you posted this video!
My thoughts exactly!!!:-)
ughhhhh i can’t wait to make this. i haven’t had spaghetti in so long because i don’t eat pasta but i’ve been growing zucchini all summer. zoodles and meatballs. i CANT WAIT. this recipe looks amazing
Barilla has a red lentils pasta. There are plant based pastas.
I made these today. Before I put them in the processor, the crumbles looked and tasted so yummy. Once in the processor...they were too blah in texture. Next time, and there will be a next time, I will just pulse a few times. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with TVP. :)
Wow. Good idea! Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Just made these meatless meatballs. Oh my word! They are excellent. This is my new go-to recipe. Thank you! 🥰

Looks amazing, and no hard to find ingredients like methylcellulose! Thank you!
You have such beautiful flowers on Your dress, Jana. I'll continue watching it later. Thank You very much.
I would make mine with red pepper sauce because I can't have tomato sauce. Great recipe!
Great idea! You can use a gravy as well!
I have shared this recipe with so many cooks and they always say thank you for sharing 😊

@@ChefJana Thank you so much. I did process it and fried it. I bet i didn't cook it long enough. I'll give it another try with fine curls too.
niceeee!!!!can i use normal flour instead of gluten flour?
You can try oatmeal flour and hydrated ground flaxseeds, add a bit more water to bind if necessary :)
Hi Chef, I made these a couple of days ago and thye wife & I both agree - - - D E L I C I O U S 😁😁😁 delicioso. Plus, they refridgerate and reheat well.

I can not wait to make this. Thank you for this video
this looks so good got to try itttt btw your cat it's so cuteeeee
Fantastic recipe.
Thank you! 😘
what can i use instead of vital wheat gluten flour? maybe corn starch or something like bread crumbs?
Thanks Chef😍 I got tvp and never used it yet
Let me know! 😘❤️
I'll be making these for some holiday appetizers! Thanks so much
You are not going to regret it :)
This is delicious! Today I will make patties using seasonings for sausages. Thank you so much for your recipes and especially the tips explaining things of the ingredients, such as the dust of TVP.
Sounds great!
Im definitely cooking this very soon. Yum.
Please do!
can you use regular size soy chunks instead?
I like the cat at the window at the bigining and at the end!
Merci! 😘

Looks delicious🌴
Thank you 😋
Big up the TVP and yourself chef. Top notch cookery. Thanks
Thank you 😊
Can i make kebabs with skewers (with the meatball mix) and grill them on the barbeque instead?
love it😍😁!
Thanks 😁
I love vegan meatballs they are so good thanks for sharing 🥰
Me too!!
Hi 👋 what should I use for GF version?
Looks fantastic. Love meatless meatballs Thank you for another great recipe.
Thank you so much Olga ❤️

😍Thank you!
You're welcome 😊
Fantastic recipe chef 👍👌👏. Thank you for your effort 🙏🌞🌹😎

Have fun! :)
Yummy 😋 can eat everyday will share
Hope you enjoy!
Delicious! Thank you for sharing. Unable to find TVP locally or Vital Gkuten so will have to order off-island.
Thank you dear ❤
does it work if I would use them in broth to make Italian wedding soup?
Wow. Adorei essa receita, vou tentar fazer com certeza. S2
Depois me diz, Mikel! 😘
Trying it today!
OMG, it’s in the middle of the night and silly me had to watch this - and of course, now I’m soooooo hungry, it looks soooooo yummy! I do mine in the oven too.

I think a combo of oatmeal flour and flaxseeds would work well here, I haven't tried but I think it could work well :)
This looks SO good and never heard anyone explain how to cook it WITHOUT rehydrating. Love that! Wait a minute... I’m thinking if we can make meatballs this way, I’m guessing we can make hamburgers too yes? Got any TVP hamburger recipes here already?
I was thinking the same
Yes, absolutely! This recipe is perfect for hamburger patties :)
Hi Jana. I almost never rehydrate my TVP and it is always good. I loved your recipe and I am going ro try it. Abraços brasileiros.
Beijo beijo!
Amazingly I have all these ingredients!! Thanks Jana ♥️
You're so welcome!
Would soy curls instead of tvp possibly work if I made the pieces super small?
... A very small amount of gravy master/kitchen bouquet will add a dark color to any preparation... My grandmother's meatballs always had pieces of garlic and it's nice to bite into them on a Sunday afternoon… Very nice recipe thank you Jana... God is good...😎
Thanks for the tips!

Jana those meatballs look Delicious 😋😋
Amazing! Have you tried and cook the balls right in the sauce instead of pre-baking them?
Yes however, your sauce could taste like gluten. I always like to sear the “meats” every time I make them using gluten flour, and only then I add them to the sauce as opposed to cook them directly in the sauce. 😉
I haven't heard of vital wheat gluten flour. Can I use all-purpose flour or maybe cornstarch? And how much of it?
Can the Soy curls be replaced with some other ingredient. I'm allergic to soy. Your recipe looks fabulous.
Hi Chef Jana. This looks like such an amazing recipe. I can’t wait to try it. I was just wondering if you can recommend a great brand of Passata sauce? Thank you 😺

Hi! Great recipe! thanks for that but is there a substitute for vital wheat gluten flour? I don't get it here in India.
Wow these look great. Thank you. Just a question. Do you use the blade or the dough attachment when processing in the food processor? 🙂
I use the S blade. 😉

I haven’t tried boiling them, but if you’re trying to avoid finding them, you can put them in the air fryer if you have one and they should be perfect ❤️
🤩 It will become a «classique» in my house!
Yes!!! 😀❤️
I made it for our Italian Friday Night! It was delicious!
Jana, thank you for another lovely recipe. Are you using soy curls or TVP? My TVP is dry little pieces and soy curls look like what’s in your video.
Yes, you use the smaller ones, the ones that look like dry ground beef :)
Love the recipe and the video. Bonus points for the cat. 😅😸. Edit: clarity
He makes a special appearance at the end of the video too! 😘
This looks gorgeous - and that's coming from someone from an Italian family!! My question is....what can we use instead of soy? Thank you for your fabulous recipes and for being such a bright spot on YT!!

You can try Gardein or any other vegan mince beef, works with them all ;)
Absolutely delicious!!
Thank you 😋
I need to make this😍
Sounds amazing, I will try. Thanks a lot for the recipe. But what is MSG ??? I am German/Swiss and never heard of it.
