Ingredients
  

Ingredients for the meatballs (for about 3 servings):

  • 100 g of textured soy protein
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic crushed
  • 50 g of breadcrumbs
  • 50 g of flour
  • 2 tablespoons of soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 teaspoon of Swedish spice mix allspice (or a combination of nutmeg, clove, and black pepper)
  • Salt to taste
  • Oil for cooking

Ingredients for the sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons of vegan margarine
  • 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
  • 150 ml of vegetable broth
  • 3 tablespoons of plant-based cream (soy, oat,...)
  • 2 tablespoons of soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tablespoon of mustard
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Instructions for the meatballs:

  • Rehydrate the textured soy protein by covering with hot water. Let it sit until tender, then drain and press to remove excess water.
  • Place the rehydrated soy protein in a mixer with onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, flour, soy sauce, spices, and salt. Blend until you get a homogeneous but not too fine mixture.
  • If the meatballs are still too moist or crumbly, add a bit more flour, but gradually to avoid making the meatballs too dense.
  • Form the mixture into meatballs.
  • Heat a bit of oil in a pan and sauté the meatballs until they are well browned on all sides.

Instructions for the sauce:

  • In a saucepan, melt the vegan margarine over medium heat.
  • Add the flour and stir to create a roux. Continue stirring for about 2 minutes, without letting the flour brown.
  • Gradually pour in the vegetable broth, constantly stirring to avoid lumps.
  • Let the sauce thicken slightly, then add the plant-based cream, soy sauce or tamari, and mustard. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
  • Season with black pepper to taste and let the sauce simmer for a few minutes to blend the flavors.
  • Serve the hot sauce with the vegan köttbullar.
