Steps:
- Mix first 4 ingredients in a large bowl.
- Add seasonings and mix until combined.
- Drain tofu and crumble with hands into the meatball mixture, mix.
- Add soy sauce and mix until all ingredients are incorporated.
- With clean hands, roll about a tablespoon's worth of mixture into a ball. If it is too dry to stick together, up to 1/2 cup water can be added. (I don't ever have to add water.).
- Continue to roll mixture into balls, and place onto a greased baking sheet, an inch or two apart. I use a cookie dough scoop to get mine a uniform size.
- Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes (depending on size), until nicely browned.
- Cool and transfer to container or bag for freezing, or serve hot as desired.
- (These work well as appetizers, or as part of a main dish with barbecue sauce, brown gravy, vegan stroganoff sauce, or Asian sauces.).

SPAGHETTI & TOFU " MEATBALLS "
I was quite surprised how wonderful these turned out! Obviously, I would never try to fool anyone that these were actual MEAT, but I think this is a wonderful meatless substitution to the old Italian favorite. These "meat" balls are great served over spaghetti in your favorite tomato sauce. And taste even better leftover the next day.

WALNUT MEATBALLS (VEGAN)
A very healthy alternative to meatballs. I'm always looking for yummy vegan food and I'm especially looking forward to trying this one. Many of my favorite vegan recipes come from the Micheff Sisters, Brenda Walsh, Cinda Sanders and Linda Johnson, on 3ABN. This is one of Brenda's recipes. Suggestions: These walnut balls can be made ahead of time and frozen. Can also use them in other sauces such as spaghetti sauce. Try making them a little smaller and using them for an appetizer. For "crispier" texture, fry them in a little canola oil instead of baking them. UPDATE: We finally tried this and were not disappointed! Made this with my Quick Vegan Pesto Alfredo Sauce (Recipe #246616) and Onion Herb Foccacia Bread (Recipe #246431)and it tasted terrific! I could see how frying them in a little oil would make them taste better plain, but I couldn't tell that much of a difference with them in the sauce and it's so much healthier having them baked. I'm going to try to make these again this weekend with a vegan gravy and hope it turns out just as good! I've had it now with sweeet and sour sauce and it tasted really nice.

WALNUT TOFU "MEAT" BALLS
I got this recipe from a 3ABN network cooking show called, "Let's Cook Together." Even my meat eaters liked it. I top them with a brown gravy or sometimes spaghetti sauce once they come out of the oven. They are very good and you can make them any size you want to.
