Meatballs are awesome, and these no-meat balls are just as awesome. I originally came up with this recipe for my best friend, Warren Freeman, who is vegan, but it turns out these no-meat balls are perfect for the lunchbox. Making these the night before is the key to a smooth morning.
TIPS
Once cooked, these beef patties will keep for 3–4 days in an airtight container in the fridge.
To keep the food nice and hot fill a thermos with boiling water and close the lid so the internal lining of the stainless steel heats up. Let it sit for 10 minutes before replacing the hot water with the hot food.
Gluten free
Use gluten-free quick oats.
Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
Transfer the mixture to an ovenproof bowl and use a handheld blender to blitz it for around a minute. Cover the bowl with foil and pop the bowl in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
Once chilled, use a tablespoon to scoop out the mixture and roll it into golf ball–sized balls with your hands.
You can serve these with Italian Tomato Sauce. Drop the no-meat balls directly into the sauce.
