- Blend all ingredients (except oil) in a blender several times in short intervals. Repeat until the mixture comes together.
- Now roll into balls.- about 1 tbsp per ball and preheat oven to 200 degrees C.
- Heat 3 tablespoons of organic cooking oil in a pan and fry the meatballs for about 7 minutes over medium heat. Stir well to ensure the meatballs are evenly cooked on all sides.
- Place the fried balls on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and bake for about 20 minutes, turning occasionally.
- Gravy: Place the tomato paste in a pan, add the plant-based cream, and stir until smooth. Gradually add the vegetable stock.
- Bring the sauce to a boil and add all the other ingredients except the starch and simmer over medium heat for about 12 minutes.
- In a small bowl, combine cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water and add it to the pan. This will thicken the sauce slightly. Let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes.
