vegan sweet and sour meatballs




1 pkg gimme lean rolled into 1" balls and browned in a skillet using about 2tbsp olive oil

i made a sauce out of pureed crushed tomatoes and about half a can of cubed pineapple. i sauteed some garlic and onions in a pan and then added crushed red pepper and a bit of brown sugar and then added the tomato and pineapple puree. i also used some soy sauce and black pepper..i cooked the sauce down until it was thick and sticky...then i coated the sauteed meatballs with the sauce. i brought these to a party alongside some actual meatballs i made. good times.

I'm not one for vegan meat substitutes, but those look like they'd be really really tasty.

The Gimme Lean is pretty darn good. I've only used their veggie sausage, not the ground beef substitute, but it's got a nice chewy meaty texture and great flavour.

its fat free, too. both variations are awesome in their own capacities.

The recipe looks yummy, but I *really* like the presentation! Is that a bowl and trivet?
