The Best Vegan Meat"less" Balls

These are a treat and not a standard in our diet, but they do bring us back to my Italian heritage, my grandmother's cooking, and sometimes I do need the comfort of the past.

Ingredients:
12 oz impossible "meat"
1 beyond meat hot Itaian sausage, skin removed
1/2 cup gluten free italian seasoned bread crumbs
1 TBS flax meal with 3 TBS water or 1/4 cup aquafaba
1 shallot, finely diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup vegan parmesan cheeze
2 TBS fresh parsley or 2 tsp dried
salt and pepper to taste

Directions: Combine everything in a large bowl. Using a 1" cookie scoop, make the meat"less" balls. Place on a large skillet, cooking individually over a medium heat until browned on all sides.
When the meat"less" balls are browned, place them in the sauce of one's choice (homemade or jarred) and allow to simmer. We simmer ours all day with vegetables of our choice, usualy peppers, onions, garlic, mushrooms, squash, and even sometimes broccoli, any vegetable can be used. We serve over quiona and brown rice pasta and top with vegan parmesan cheeze
