Vegetarian Mushroom Meatballs Recipes

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine 6 tablespoons soy sauce with the honey; warm over medium-low heat. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes (you should have about 1/3 cup). Stir in 2 teaspoons ginger and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
• Meanwhile, heat the oven to 375 degrees. Place crumbled vermicelli noodles in a small heatproof bowl and cover with boiling water by 1 inch. Cover and let stand until tender, about 3 minutes. Drain noodles, pressing to remove excess liquid. Cool and coarsely chop.
• In a food processor, pulse garlic until finely chopped. Add mushrooms and pulse just until finely chopped with some pea-size pieces remaining (do not purée); transfer to a large bowl. Repeat with bok choy, pulsing it then adding it to the large bowl. Add panko, egg, salt, cooled noodles and remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 2 teaspoons ginger and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to the large bowl; mix until well blended. Form into 1 1/4-inch balls (about 2 teaspoons each; you should have about 24).
• Arrange meatballs on a greased baking sheet. Brush meatballs with half of the glaze and bake for 10 minutes. Brush meatballs with the remaining glaze, rotate baking sheet before returning to the oven, and bake until golden, 8 to 10 minutes longer. Transfer to serving plate and serve warm.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms to the hot oil, sprinkle with salt, and cook and stir until liquid from mushrooms has evaporated. Stir butter into mushrooms, reduce heat to medium, and cook and stir mushrooms until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
• Stir onion into mushrooms and cook, stirring often, until onion is translucent, 5 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and stir garlic into mushroom mixture until fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer mixture to a mixing bowl.
• Mix oats into mushroom mixture until thoroughly combined. Gently stir 1 ounce Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese into mixture. Add bread crumbs, 1/4 cup parsley, and 1 egg; season with salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and oregano. Mix together with a fork until crumbly. Stir in remaining 1 egg. Mixture should hold together when pressed.
• Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours. For best flavor and texture, refrigerate overnight.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
• Form mixture into small meatballs using a 2-tablespoon scoop. Roll meatballs lightly between your hands until smooth, if desired; arrange meatballs on prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until meatballs are lightly golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Bring pasta sauce to a boil in a large saucepan; reduce heat to low. Gently stir meatballs into sauce until coated. Simmer meatballs in sauce until cooked through, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with 1 tablespoon Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and 1 tablespoon parsley.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Saute onion in the hot oil, about 7 minutes. Add mushrooms, increase heat to medium-high, and cook and stir until water evaporates and they brown nicely, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in garlic and transfer mixture into a mixing bowl; let cool.
• Stir oats, bread crumbs, 1/2 cup parsley, eggs, broth, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper into the mixture to combine. Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for flavors and texture to develop, at least 2 hours, to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a rimmed baking sheet lightly.
• Form small balls from the mixture using a tablespoon as a measure. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until browned, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat marinara sauce in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Remove meatballs from the oven and transfer to the sauce; cook over low heat for 15 minutes more. Garnish with Parmesan cheese and/or 1 teaspoon parsley.
