Meatless Meatballs with Cauliflower and Broccoli

Meatless Meatballs with Cauliflower and Broccoli

The combination of Meatless Meatballs with Cauliflower and Broccoli just fit together like peas and carrots in the pot pie.

I just loved everything. I had my niece over for lunch, and she enjoyed it as well.

So, these meatballs are obviously meatless. I do not know how they did it, but they honestly taste like meat to me. Needless to say, they are so freaking delicious.

My family loved it too. Well, I do not make it often and we are not vegan or vegetarian, but I enjoy every few days a nice plant-based meal. I even crave salads!

To some of you, that might be strange but it is honestly true. Besides, broccoli and cauliflower are amazing in every possible way.

I wanted to stay with a completely vegan meal. Which is not mandatory, of course, since we are not vegans or vegetarians.

However, I wanted to go along with the theme and create our lunch so my family can actually see that vegan lunch can be delicious.

My boys are always running away from the idea but this turned around. We all truly enjoyed it.

I tossed some thawed organic broccoli and cauliflower with these meatballs. Also, I made this delicious veggie-packed spaghetti to go with it.

It was truly one remarkable meal. To be honest, you do not need a whole bunch of food to create an amazing meal for a family.

They will love anything that I make so I try to use simple ingredients to create a wonderful dinner.

Meatless Meatballs with Cauliflower and Broccoli
Yield: 2 Servings

Meatless Meatballs with Cauliflower and Broccoli

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes

This whole combo just fit together like peas and carrots in the pot pie. I just loved everything. I had my niece over for lunch, and she enjoyed it as well.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 tbsp. Olive Oil
  • 6 Gardein Meatless Meatballs 3 per serving
  • 1 cup Frozen Broccoli
  • 1 cups frozen Cauliflower
  • Sprinkle: Lemon-Black Pepper Seasoning unsalted
  • Sprinkle: Red Chili flakes
  • Sprinkle: Dried Parsley
  • Sea Salt to taste

Garnish

  • A drizzle of Chili Oil
  • Fresh Italian Flat Leaf Parsley
  • Serve it with SuperGreen Pasta

Instructions

  1. Follow meatless meatballs cooking instructions according to a package. I prefer thawing the meatballs then just cooking them defrosted until light brown on hot oil for a couple of minutes, turning every 30-40 seconds.
  2. After meatballs are lightly brown toss them with (slightly) thawed Broccoli and Cauliflower. You could use raw, fresh vegetables, just make sure to blanch them just before tossing them with meatballs. Cook vegetables for a minute or two on medium-high heat.
  3. Season with seasoning to taste.

Notes

KITCHEN TIP: HOW TO THAW FROZEN VEGETABLES:

Put frozen vegetables in a colander or a strainer and run cold water over the vegetables until thawed. If you are thawing Spinach or kale, make sure to squeeze out excess water. I finish pasta at the same time I finish this dish so I could serve it together. This is also very easy to cook ahead and refrigerate for up to 2 days or freeze it for a month.

The reason why I do not keep broccoli and cauliflower longer than 2 days: It has a very particular smell if it stands in the fridge for too long.

I recommend no longer than 2 days. you can always freeze it and reheat. You can serve this with whatever you wish or eat it on its own. I like this green pasta very much.

I made this for dinner last night; served it over some linguine drizzled with olive oil and Parma. It was a very tasty, satisfying, and satiating, yet easy to make meal - perfect for a weeknight.
