I love how there is a plant based presence on BA now. Chrissy Tracey is becoming one of my favorites. She is so chill and knowledgeable. We need more plant based representation like this.
I really appreciate these videos. Chrissy makes meatless meals feel more approachable - it's often difficult for non-vegetarians/vegans to come up with meat free meals that aren't salads. More of this, please!
I made this for my wife tonight. The only thing I modified is I didn't sear the meatballs because my non stick pan sucks and it was sticking really bad. I just baked them at 400*F until they were golden. It was really delicious thank you for the recipe.
One should think that everybody knows that ... but apparently there is a connection between people following a trendy lifestyle and their inability to base actions on validated insights...
I was so confused by that statement. Like most pasta brands in the store don't contain egg, it's just water and wheat semolina. The only pasta I know that do contain egg are nearly all german tagliatelle and spaetzle. Well and most homemade ones. Is that different in other states?
Try Panko instead of the bread & breadcrumbs, the texture and dryness of it will soak up whatever fatty liquid you're using much better and improve binding all the ingredients
@@simplypaul8681 added fat might improve taste further, as well as making it easier to recreate (esp. Since she does mention that binding can be an issue)
@@yukito227 Yes, and that can mean that she often had issues in the past with this and/or similar recipes, so why not try to improve taste and idiot-proof structural integrity with Panko?
I am thinking about dropping out of school to focus on my career as a star on TH-cam. I already make a lot of money on TH-cam. School bores me so much. I need more opinions and since I don't have any friends, I gotta ask you, mo
Does it matter if they're heated before or after crushing? Genuine question, since the meatballs then get pan-seared and baked, with the fennel inside :o
@@Orynae with most spices (cumin, fennel) if you heat first and grind afterwards its more aromatic and flavourful. When you heat it beforehand, you are releasing some of the oils into the mixture. You can experiment on a batch, some fennel seeds without toasting and some lightly toasted and ground and see what you think.
You should take everything with a grain of salt. When people get fired, passed up for promotions,etc and quit or get fired end up always trash talking, lying and blaming the company. No one likes to admit being fired/wrong,etc. Take the current political climate we have where different groups get different amounts of points and you have a good recipe for this.

You can definitely eat them. You don't use them for this recipe but you can definitely roughly mash them with a drizzle of olive oil to make an awesome spread for your toast :)
@@eatwithchrissy Wow, I can't believe I got the A-okay on this one haha Just know that you've been doing a wonderful job here Chrissy! I always look forward to your recipes. Can't wait for the next one 😁
If you came to this comment section to comment on how plants cant make a meatball, please spare everyone and just look at the other 55% of the comments on this video that say the same thing. The comment is as funny as it is original.
For my health and my parents aging health I hope to do more plant base and lower cholesterol levels and blood pressure and blood sugar levels! While tasting deliscious still I hope! I love spice and texture!
If using a stainless steel pot, do not add salt until the water is hot. Stir to disolve. If you put salt in the cold water, the stainless steel will pit.
I think cooking changes according to individual tastes. The same recipe can be different like this, and I'm learning something special.^^ It looks more delicious with all your heart. I'll be back after watching the show. Good luck.🗽👍
As someone who has had like 50% luck in the past when cooking lentils until they’re tender enough, can someone recommend a foolproof way to make them? Appreciate any advice!
Personally I find soaking them ahead of time works best for me, I keep them in a bowl of water at room temp for a few hours and then drain, rinse add to a pot with a 1:1.5 ratio of lentils to water and simmer for 20 minutes. Check for doneness. If they've achieved the level of cooked you desire you can strain any leftover liquid. If they're not ready yet just keep cooking/add water if it's looking too dry. This recipe I think would also be pretty forgiving to overcooked lentils, just add more breadcrumbs if the mix seems too wet.
This is the most unique vegan meatball recipe I've seen with the soaked bread...I can't wait to try it! I make vegan parmesan all the time it is so good. Leatballs is the perfect name!
I like the vegan content, I like the host, but it still feels so wrong to watch BA. It is clearly not the same wholesome place it used to be, and there's a bitter aftertaste.
god i'm so glad i'm not the only one who feels this way. this is the first BA video i've even clicked on since the scandal last year- it just doesn't feel right. i'm glad that these issues finally came to light, but BA is clearly no longer the cozy space we once thought it was, and it's so disappointing.
I love how there is a plant based presence on BA now. Chrissy Tracey is becoming one of my favorites. She is so chill and knowledgeable. We need more plant based representation like this.
Although I get what you're saying, calling someone plant based representation has something funny to me.
You've heard of Chrissy Teigen. Now get ready for Chrissy Vegan.
Aaaah hahaha! This is right on!
This was good.
Lol 😂
Infinitely more impressed with this Chrissy❤️
😂😂😂
I really appreciate these videos. Chrissy makes meatless meals feel more approachable - it's often difficult for non-vegetarians/vegans to come up with meat free meals that aren't salads. More of this, please!
It’s difficult to make tho
I honestly love seeing an 80's era food processor and pans with oil baked on. A hardworking kitchen isn't a showroom.
I made this for my wife tonight. The only thing I modified is I didn't sear the meatballs because my non stick pan sucks and it was sticking really bad. I just baked them at 400*F until they were golden. It was really delicious thank you for the recipe.
Love the comment. I had a similar problem before go to Macy's or Marshalls get a good one
Chrissy is so easy to watch + I am 7 years vegan and could use some more inspiration and new recipes I haven't tried. Rock on Chrissy!
Finally vegan meatballs that don’t contain mushrooms!👏🏽
You have to have a childlike palate to not like mushrooms.
@@BrokenCDprodux what if I’m allergic??
@Trent Bishop you don't know that you imbecile
Most dry pasta you find in grocery stores don't contain eggs.
Yeah that was weird, she made it seem like it's hard to find "vegan" pasta like it's not in every single grocery store across the country.
Depends on the country you´re in.

so thrilled to see vegan recipes on BA!!
incredible, i would pay $42 for that plate, no problem.
probably the best vegan cooking video on here.
we need more of these
Finally someone that sounds and behave natural on this channel ! what a relief. Very clever recipe also
THANK GOD I LOVE CHRISSY VEGAN QUEEN
... when interpunction would help others to understand what you are trying to say...
Oh my god she's breathtakingly beautiful, what energy, she's solaaaaaar
Yes, I've been waiting for more Chrissy segments!
as a vegan, I'm so here for these BA vegan recipes! please keep it up!
😻
I love your voice and your overal vibe
@@AndyS52 the bold friendly vibe and smooth voice
@@AndyS52 Chrissy’s voice is warm and expressive, with a vibe of confidence and passion for what she does. Not sure who you are listening to.
We and I need more vegan recipes! I am stuck with easy stuff... And I would love seeing some new vegan recipes
The medium spice Spice Girls joke had me cackling 😂😂😂😂
So psyched for you all doing vegan recipes! 🌱
I love pan-fried lentil balls. It's my favorite way to eat lentils.
Try Panko instead of the bread & breadcrumbs, the texture and dryness of it will soak up whatever fatty liquid you're using much better and improve binding all the ingredients
It didnt need the binding improved. They held together great

Yes, these will do, trying these this weekend.
I swear BA is in my search results! I searched vegan meatballs over the weekend! Perfect timing... we are totally synced ❤
THANK YOU ..YOU MAKE YOUR RECIPE EASY TO FOLLOW..NOT A LOT OF TALKING ..I LOVE IT YOU..❤❤ MY NEW FAVORITE CHEF❤❤❤👩🏾🍳👩🏾🍳👩🏾🍳

Great recipe! Thanks for veganizing this classic BA recipe :)
I will definitely try this recipe. Also Chrissy is awesome :D
I like her. Great voice. Great eyes. Great food processor.
Love this recipe! Thanks for sharing Chrissy!
So psyched for the vegan in the house!
This is a wonderful recipe. Thank you! If you heat(toast) the fennel for a little bit and then crush them, it will taste smell and etter

it looks daunting but i saw this video a while ago and feel i need to make healthy veg meatballs! thx so much!! will update w results hopefully soon
i'm trying to continue boycotting BA but i love chrissy so much darn. this recipe looks so good, finally some yummy vegan things!!
I will make that meatball for sure. I love lentils and want to try your parm cheese method as well. Thanks for showing this to all of us.
thank you for the addition of vegan food!
She's been working on her knife skills!
Cue the haters. The comments on her videos are always so vicious.
I wish I had her skills. It takes me forever to cut vegetables.
😊
@@eatwithchrissy u rock !!🤩😍
Why remove the onions? Seems like they could be broken up and kept as being part of the sauce
My thoughts exactly... or if you just want an onion flavor, use some onion powder or bits...
Don't question cooks, they do dumb stuff and waste food.
It's not uncommon, I've seen it in recipes. They want the flavor and a smoother sauce.
I guess it would dilute the tomato
Use it the next morning on toast with veggies 😊 no waste!
Vegan BA is my favourite, thank you Chrissy!
Thanks! That's quite interesting, I think that we could add some miso, soy sauce or any other yeast garum to bring out some strong flavors!
Vegan meatballs?!
*I have no beef with that.*
Finally come in with a funny joke.
Even though I'm not a huge fan of bon appetit as a company (after last year's fiascos) I do love Chrissy :))
What happened?
I guess I missed the fiasco, is this why I stopped seeing vids.

Lentil balls are my favorite.
It's looks very nice. But putting the onion and garlic out seems like a waste to me... Why not eat them?

Well this was really cool and it looks great! I also learned about aqaufaba which was cool.
please post a full recipe of this on the website with all the tips she mentioned! it's hard to keep referring to a video :(
Totally off topic but I have to say it. I'm obsessed with her hair. Major Goddess vibes ✨
Pre-made vegan leatballs is something I would like to buy and keep in my freezer.
If using a stainless steel pot, do not add salt until the water is hot. Stir to disolve.
If you put salt in the cold water, the stainless steel will pit.
I love these vegan recipes
👏❤️loved the recipe! Thanks. If I have some leftovers would you reccomend to freeze them raw or cooked?
I LOVE THIS recipe! And I’m not even vegan! I’m pescatarian!!! Great Job!👍
Ok, that was awesome. Love her style.

Would love to see Chris try his hand at this haha
One of his blind recreation videos😂
A little disappointed with the garlic; two is not enough. Other than that, will try this recipe before the holiday
This is the best vegan meatball ever!!! I can’t wait to try the recipe 😆😆
Go sis 🥰
any suggestions if you are allergic to cashews?
I’ve done it with walnuts and pistachios and it tastes great. :)
If you are allergic to nuts you can also try sunflower or pumpkin seeds
Suggestion: Don’t use cashews.
my God this woman looks stunning 😮
Plant butter... so margarine?
What?🤔 ummmm no
I love Chrissy💚

Can you use a whole grain bread?
Absolutely :)
Hallelujah!!!!!!! So happy for this :)
Wow - if you didn't tell me, I wouldn't have thought those golden beauties to be vegan. Looks really good
i love your videos chrissy keep them
coming:)❤️
I put nutritional yeast in non-vegan stuff for a more cheesy taste without the cheese calories.
It’s so good!
1 question.. can u call it meatballs when it dont have meat in it?
I would recommend the following:
Trash Balls
Dirty Balls
Hippy Balls
Ya can and she did. Sleep well

Aren’t you supposed to soak the cashews overnight?
okay I love Chrissy but does anyone else think the finished product looks dry? You can’t skimp on the sauce 🤌
double the sauce for double the fun!
@@eatwithchrissy I like your problem solving
When you threw your pasta into the wall it looked like "لا" which is “no” in arabic 😹😹
Omg love her!
Yes I’m also medium spicy. You might catch me slurping and crying at the same time !
Vegetable Balls?
Whats wrong with butter now?
I get the whole meat thing, but milk and butter?
Vegans don't have dairy products. You know stuff that comes out of cows.
someone who doesn’t eat meat but eats dairy is vegetarian
Could you guys try to make homemade Popcorners please?
