They're the same as Italian meatballs but with tofu. I had to go through many recipes and cobble pieces together to get something that tasted normal. Olive oil helps them crisp up in the oven. I ate these with basic marinara and they were delicious.

Ingredients

  • extra-firm tofu: 1 pack (14 ounce pack)
  • onion: 1 piece (chopped)
  • egg: 1 piece
  • bread crumbs: 0.5 cup
  • Parmesan cheese: 0.5 cup (grated)
  • Worcestershire sauce: 1 Tbsp
  • ¼ teaspoons chopped fresh basil: 1 piece
  • ¼ teaspoons chopped fresh marjoram: 1 piece
  • ¼ teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary: 1 piece
  • ¼ teaspoons chopped fresh oregano: 1 piece
  • ¼ teaspoons chopped fresh thyme: 1 piece
  • red pepper flakes: 1 tsp
  • salt: 1 tsp
  • hot sauce: 0.5 tsp
  • garlic: 0.5 tsp (minced)

  2. Place tofu onto a plate and place another plate on top. Set a 3- to 5-pound weight on top. Press tofu for 15 minutes to drain excess water. Break tofu into small pieces and squeeze again to remove as much water as possible.
