Tofu Balls Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Saute the garlic, onion, carrot, pepper, basil, fennel and oregano in the oil for 10 minutes or until tender. In a large bowl, beat the eggs, then add all other ingredients except the tofu. Mash the tofu and add it to the other ingredients. Mix well. Form the mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls. Spread on a greased baking sheet. Bake for 20-30 minutes at 350 degrees F. or until golden brown. NOTES: * Vegetable and tofu "meatballs" -- This recipe comes from the New Recipes from Moosewood Restaurant cookbook. They said that these vegetarian balls are "one of our most popular standard lunch items". I was skeptical, so I gave it a try and indeed, they are quite tasty. : Difficulty: easy. : Time: 30 minutes preparation, 30 minutes baking. : Nicholas Horton : Reed College, Portland, Oregon, USA : tektronix!reed!horton : Copyright (C) 1986 USENET Community Trust
