These are so much fun to make! A simple mix of tempeh, ketchup, spices and panko breadcrumbs from Isa Chandra Moskowitz's Isa Does It.
Whenever I'm cooking something that needs to be "formed into the shape of a ball" I imagine the mix crumbling between my fingers in an informercial-like moment of drama. I'm happy to say that in this case, the neatballs came together easily even in a cast iron skillet, which I still sometimes struggle to use. Isa has opened my eyes to the wonderful world of tempeh. I used to think it was too bitter, too weirdly moldy and devoid of flavor to use in anything I'd want more than one serving of. In this recipe (and others) she transforms tempeh into delicios protein goodness. This recipe also comes with the recipe for spaghetti sauce which you can make or just grab a jar instead. This is also another good one to make double and freeze some of the neatballs. If I gave out stars, this would be a 5 out of 5!
