Tvp Meatballs

I got this recipe from Cooks.com. Personally I think I'd like these meatballs a tad spicier. I used a nut oil instead of canola to fry the onion and garlic. I then used olive oil to fry the meatballs.

• Ready In: 40 mins
• Yields: 36 meatballs

Ingredients

• 8  ounces  by weight of dry  textured vegetable protein
• 1 3⁄4 cups boiling water
• 1  small onion, diced
• 2  tablespoons canola oil
• 1  teaspoon  minced garlic
• 1⁄2 teaspoon chili powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon cilantro
•  salt and pepper
• 1⁄2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1  tablespoon tamari soy sauce
• 1  tablespoon  chopped fresh parsley
• 1⁄2 cup whole wheat flour
• 1  tablespoon  oil (for frying the onion and garlic)
• 1⁄4 cup  oil (to fry the meatballs)

Directions

1. Boil your water and add it to the TVP and let it rehydrate for at least 10 minutes.
2. Saute the onion and garlic in the 1 tbsp oil. Add spices and mix well.
3. Add to the TVP mixture. Add in the flour.
4. Mold into 1 inch size meatballs. Press them together hard to keep them from crumbling.
5. Fry in the 1/4 oil turning meatballs around to cook all sides until crispy and golden brown.
6. Yields about 3 dozen.
7. Bon Appetit!
