Mock Meatballs

These were very moist and looked great, which I appreciated. However, they were more like stuffing balls than anything with which I could fool my husband. I am puzzled as to why my results are different. I wanted to love this one for sure.

This recipe is amazing! I made it while DH was out this afternoon and very briefly dropped them into the deep fryer (that I haven't used in 2 1/2 yrs!) just to get them evenly browned all around. At that point I stashed them in the oven warmer and made the rest of dinner. When DH got home everything was almost ready and I served him "meatballs in mushroom sauce" on brown rice. He LOVED them and had no idea that they weren't beef! I'm not about to tell him either, LOL. I used all egg white for the whole eggs, old fashioned oats and a dark whole grain cracker. I'm simply awed by this delicious recipe. It will reappear without doubt (DH has already ask for a meatball sandwich made with some of the extra balls). Thank you very much for posting this one Dreamer.

A very unusual recipe that I'm classifying as a GREAT FIND recipe... healthy and delicious and I'd really defy anyone to know that these weren't - let's say "regular" - tasty meatballs. And I do love cooking "meatballs" in the oven: so much easier for minimal preparation! We have zero tolerance of anything hot and spicy, so I omitted the chilli powder and for the sage I used grindings of a wonderfully flavoursome rosemary and sage blend that I've been using in a lot of recipes recently. I used low-fat cottage cheese and low-fat milk, without (I believe) compromising flavour. And like Annacia's husband, I SO enjoyed some of these mock meatballs in a take-to-work sandwich next day - except perhaps that I knew that they were "mockballs"! I made these "mockballs" for 1-2-3 Hit Wonders, but this is a recipe that truly deserves super-stardom. Thank you so much for sharing it, Dreamer!
