Simple Vegan Meatballs by The Minimalist Baker
Tempeh week
1. Simple vegan meatballs
Make a double or triple batch of savory and filling vegan meatballs using tempeh, and then add them to recipes all week (or pop them in the freezer for future meals). We love the Minimalist Baker’s recipe, which only uses 10 ingredients.
2. Vegan Italian wedding soup
Skip the steps to make the meatballs in Connoisseurus Veg’s recipe and just head straight to the soup! If you have any leftover pasta from last night (that hasn’t been sauced), add that just before serving instead of cooking the orzo. Tip: Prep enough fresh veggies for tomorrow.
3. Sweet and sour tempeh meatballs
You’ve already prepared the meatballs, so just make Oh My Veggies’ sauce for this dinner. Add a few veggies from last night’s soup prep and cook up a small pot of your favorite grains to make this a full meal.
