Spaghetti (Un)Meat Balls

For years I had tried dozens of "meat"ball recipes trying to find one that my children liked as much as prepackaged vegetarian meat balls. I finally tried this one and it was a big hit with all of us. This dish is easy and cheap to prepare and the whole family enjoyed the taste and the texture.

Ingredients:

2 cups TVP reconstituted with 1 3/4 cups boiling water
1/2 cup water
1 small onion, diced
1/2 cup unbleached flour
1 teaspoon salt or 1 T McKay's beef seasoning
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon oregano

Preparation:

Rehydrate TVP.
Water saute' onion until soft.
Mix all ingredients and shape this mixture into balls one inch in diameter, pressing firmly.
Spray vegetable oil into a non-stick pan and cook balls until browned.
Serve with your favorite tomato sauce in whole grain buns or over pasta.
