Vegetarian Meatballs, in Sauce
Vegetarian meatballs in sauce are plant-based protein alternatives typically made from legumes, grains, or meat substitutes like textured vegetable protein. These sauce-simmered spheres often derive their savory flavor from ingredients like lentils, mushrooms, or chickpeas, providing comparable texture to traditional meatballs with significantly less saturated fat. The accompanying sauce—usually tomato-based—enhances moisture and flavor while contributing additional nutrients, though sodium content may vary depending on preparation methods.
