Egg-Free Meatballs - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 tablespoons onion flakes
1/2 teaspoon rosemary
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons parsley flakes
1 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon basil
1/8 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup oat bran
1/2 cup quick oats
1 tablespoon Ener-G Egg Substitute
3/4 cup pasta sauce
1 lb lean ground beef
2 tablespoons olive oil

Preparation

In a medium bowl, combine seasonings, oat bran, oats, and egg replacement powder.
Add pasta sauce and mix thoroughly.
Add ground beef and mix thoroughly (I knead it with my hands like a bread dough, folding over a side and pressing in). The oats will absorb liquid as you mix, creating a firmer texture. You can let this sit for a few minutes to thicken as well.
Put 2 Tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
Form the mixture into small meatballs, about an inch in diameter.
Cook the meatballs about 5 minutes, until crispy and browned on one side, then turn. Turn again to brown as much surface as possible.
If you opened up a fresh jar of pasta sauce, pour the rest over the cooked meatballs and allow to simmer for 5 minutes.
Serve on fresh rolls (I use http://www.food.com/recipe/potato-buns-bread-machine-412701) or over pasta.
