TEMPEH BALLS
Recipe and Image Amber Bremner These tempeh balls are a fantastic high protein stand-in for traditional meatballs, inspired by the classic flavours of Italian pork sausage. I serve these with spaghetti and marinara sauce as a familiar family-friendly meal that keeps everyone happy. They are delicious shallow fried but can be oven-baked for a healthier […]
