Vegan Meatballs

I like having something in my spaghetti sauce, like ground seitan or vegan meatballs.  I've already tried one vegan meatball recipe from myvegancookbook.com, but despite how impressed I was, Simran didn't care for it, so now I'm trying the other.  I like to make such things in advance and throw them in a ziploc bag in the freezer for later.

Ingredients
  • 1/2 Cup Cooked Lentils
  • 1 Cup Cooked Brown Rice
  • 1/4 Cup Old Fashioned Oats
  • 1/4 Cup + 2 Tablespoons Wheat Germ
  • 2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 2 Teaspoons Lemon Juice
  • 1/4 Cup Whole Wheat Flour
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 Teaspoon Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1/8 Teaspoon Nutmeg
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Chili Powder
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Chipotle Chili Powder
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 Teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 2 Teaspoons Molasses
  • 2 Teaspoons Dry Mustard
Directions

1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

2. Mix ingredients together in a bowl. Measure out 2 tablespoons of mixture for each meatball and roll into a ball with your hands. Spray cooking sheet and place meatballs on it.

3. Place into oven and cook 15 minutes on one side and roll over and cook 15 minutes on the other side. After they are out of the oven, let stand for about 10 minutes to allow them to firm up.

[Edited 3/12/2014:  These had far too mustardy a taste.  The ones in the link above are much better.]
