Ingredients

  • 3 cups fresh mushrooms (chopped)
  • 1/2 medium onion (chopped)
  • 1/4 cup vegan butter (very soft or melted)
  • 2 flax eggs
  • 2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes
  • 1 tsp ginger paste

  • 1/4 cup grated non dairy cheese
  • 1/2 cups seasoned dry bread crumbs

Method

  1. Mix everything in a bowl except the breadcrumbs, until the mixture becomes creamy.
  2. add bread crumbs to make it a bit stiff and make balls. I added some all purpose flour to dry the mixture more so its easier to make balls.
  3. Bake balls on a baking sheet at 350 degrees F / 180ºc for about 20-25 minutes till the outer crust looks brown.
  4. Serve warm with ranch or green chutney!
