Chickpea Meatballs
So in the past when I’ve had a hankering for an Italian style gluten free, Vegan dish I’ve made Lentil Bolognese. I’ve also made Spaghetti Bolognese using TVP as the ‘beef mince’ substitute and I always really enjoy it. But I also sometimes crave some meatballs in a tomato based sauce. I’ve already done a meatball recipe before using TVP and it was delicious. Check out the recipe here if interested. For a change, I decided to test out a Chickpea based meatball recipe and lemme tell ya? This is EQUALLY as tasty meatball recipe as my TVP one…so try either depending what mood you’re in.

Tuscan TVP Meatballs
Today on Gluten Free Aussie Vegan I’m going to share with you a recipe for ‘meatballs’. What is the main ingredient that I am going to be using? It’s Textured Vegetable Protein aka TVP. TVP is where the protein has been extracted from soybeans and it looks like dried flakes which when you add liquid to them they readily absorb the liquid and swell to resemble and taste like something similar to ground beef. I discovered this a few months ago and have loved experimenting with it. TVP itself doesn’t have a strong flavour in my opinion. So what I love most about TVP compared to other ‘minced beef’ alternatives…
