Here is my favorite vegetarian meatballs recipe. Serve them with pasta and marinara sauce, or with mashed potatoes and gravy, in a sandwich with red-beet salad, or any way you like! Being a vegetarian I can sometimes long for traditional comfort food, which many of us grew up with, although I don't miss the real thing with meat.
