These plant based meatballs are yummy with a wonderful chewy meaty texture, not too spicy, grilled and perfect with Harissa sauce. I plated these keftas with some crispy fresh vegetables for a light delicious dinner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> These meatballs have Moroccan influences with aromatics like all-spice, sweet smoked paprika, Ras-el Hanout, ginger and garlic They are plant based made with tofu and plenty of umami contributors like mushrooms and walnuts. Though the list of ingredients is long, but most are found in ones fridge and pantry. You first saute the mushrooms, tofu along with the aromatics and dump everything into a food processor and pulse a few times. Then we form meatballs or croquettes and bake\/grill for best results. Serve with pita or salad and a good Mediterranean dipping sauces. We love spicy harissa here keeping with he Moroccan theme. You could also serve them as a little party appetizer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DSC_5896.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"16167\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/?attachment_id=16167\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DSC_5896.jpg?fit=1826%2C2500&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1826,2500\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;3.2&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D750&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1614698665&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;70&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;500&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.00625&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"DSC_5896\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DSC_5896.jpg?fit=748%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DSC_5896.jpg?resize=963%2C1318&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16167\" width=\"963\" height=\"1318\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DSC_5896.jpg?resize=748%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 748w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DSC_5896.jpg?resize=219%2C300&amp;ssl=1 219w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DSC_5896.jpg?resize=768%2C1051&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DSC_5896.jpg?resize=1122%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1122w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DSC_5896.jpg?resize=1496%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1496w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DSC_5896.jpg?w=1826&amp;ssl=1 1826w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 963px) 100vw, 963px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mediterranean Vegan Kefta Meatballs <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>1-2 tablespoons olive oil, oil plus more for brushing<\/li><li>8 oz cremini, button or mix of mushrooms, cleaned and sliced<\/li><li>14-16 oz extra firm tofu, drained well<\/li><li>3-4 tablespoons rice crumbs or plain panko breadcrumbs<\/li><li>2-3 teaspoons corn starch<\/li><li>&nbsp;3-4 cloves garlic chopped<\/li><li>1 inch piece ginger<\/li><li>1 teaspoon sweet smoked paprika <\/li><li>\u00bd teaspoon ground all-spice<\/li><li>1 \u00bd teaspoons ground coriander seeds<\/li><li>1 teaspoon Ras-el Hanout or garam masala, homemade or store bought<\/li><li>\u00bd cup finely chopped walnuts or pine-nuts<\/li><li>\u00bc-\u00bd teaspoon cayenne or hot chili pepper to taste (optional)<\/li><li>small handful of chopped cilantro <\/li><li>&nbsp;Sea salt and black pepper to taste<\/li><li><strong>Garnish<\/strong> S<strong>uggestions<\/strong><\/li><li>Harissa Sauce<\/li><li>sliced cucumber, sliced onions<\/li><li>soft herbs: mint, cilantro, parsley<\/li><li>baby tomatoes<\/li><li>Boston Bibb lettuce<\/li><li>feta<\/li><li>kalamata olives<\/li><li>microgreens<\/li><li>Naan<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Preheat the oven to 425\u00b0F\/ 200\u00b0C.
