Vegan Receipe - 'Great Balls of Fire' - Yellow Corn Flour Meatless Meatballs' in Tomato Sauce

A delicious hearty and satisfying vegan version of meatballs. I served this on a bed of fresh lettuce for a quick simple meal.

Below you can see the demolition in progress!

To make the tomato sauce you will need :

○Tomatoes - x10 medium
○Onion - x1 small
○Garlic - x1 whole
○Drier Oregano - 1 TSPS
○Black Pepper - 1 TSPS

It's not necessary to use oil for this dish. 

Sautee onions, tomato and garlic together in a pan. Grind in some pink rock salt  and black pepper. Finally add some dried or fresh oregano and as an option you can add some agave syrup.

Leave to simmer for approx 40 minutes.

To create this delicious feast I used my favourite Juana gluten free yellow corn flour, it's such an amazing versatile flour!

To make the meatless 'meatball' dumplings you will need:

○Yellow Corn Flour x1 large cup ( Juana Brand, Maiz Cascado)
○Grated Carrots
○Chopped Onion
○Coriander
○Pink Salt
○Black Pepper

Pour yellow corn flour into a mixing bowl.

Grind in some pink sea salt.

Grind in some black pepper.

Then thrown in the coriander and grated carrot.

Add water and mix to form a dough which firm but moist.

Split the dough and roll between your hands into smaller balls.

Place the balls into boiling hot water for approx 10 minutes until they are cooked. They will swell in size and look like the ones below. The texture will nice and firm.

Once cooked place them in the tomato sauce for another 10 minutes on a low heat.

This will allow the corn flour balls to absorb some of  the flavour from the sauce.

After appox 10 minutes they are now ready to eat, serve on a bed of lettuce and tuck in! 

Alternatively you can serve with healthy pasta like spelt pasta/spaghetti.
