Vegetarian Swedish Meatballs - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 slices bread, crumbled
3 tablespoons onions, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 cup skim milk or 3/4 cup soymilk
2 (12 ounce) packages soy crumbles
1 1/2 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (if you are using soymilk or skim milk add another tablespoon)
1 cup vegetable broth
1 1 cup skim milk or 1 cup fat-free half-and-half
plus 1 tablespoon powdered milk (with skim only)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
In a large bowl combine bread crumbs, onion, pepper, nutmeg. and burger-style crumbles until well blended. Add all but 2 tablespoons of milk and test if your \"meat\" will form a ball. If needed, because the mixture is too dry, add the additional milk. Form into 1 1/2 inch balls.
In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the 'meat' balls in oil. Remove with a slotted spoon and place in a 2 quart casserole dish.
Whisk flour into drippings in skillet; cook until bubbly, stirring constantly. Stir in broth and half-and-half/soy milk/skim milk and continue cooking, stirring, until sauce thickens and boils, about 1 minute. Pour over 'meat' balls .
Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes.
