Zucchini Meat-Less-Balls

meatless balls with zucchini - thaiveggiewithb

I was surprised by two huge zucchinis lurking in our garden one day. It was a fight, but I got the better of them. Can’t believe they get so big.

Here is another zucchini recipe.

I used half of a zucchini and turned it into this recipe. I call it zucchini meat-less-balls.

– 2 cups zucchini, chopped fine

– 1/2 cup sweet pepper, chopped fine

– 1/3 cup cabbage, chopped (purple cabbage gives some color to the meatballs)

– 1/3 cup broccoli, chopped

– 1/2 sweet onion, chopped

– 2-3 pinches ground black pepper

– 1 cup glass noodles – pre-soak in hot water for 5 mins and drain

– 1/3 block tofu, broken and mashed with hands

– 2-3 tbsp soy sauce

– 1-2 tbsp fresh squeezed lime juice

– 2-3 cloves garlic, smashed or diced

– 1 tsp arrowroot powder

– 1 tsp olive oil

– In a large mixing bowl, add all ingredients except olive oil. Mix well.

– Form the mixture into balls. I made 8 fairly large (golf ball size) balls.

– Add olive oil to a baking pan. Add the balls to the baking pan, cover to keep the noodles moist.

– Turn heat to 360 and bake for 25 mins. Check for readiness. Balls should be firm and pan dry. Feel free to cook longer if desired.

I like to serve with fresh or steamed veggies and favorite sauce.

Enjoy!!
