Mixed vegetable meatballs
I’ve finally found a delicious use for swede beyond mash - meatballs!!! Combined with some kale and celeriac, these baked little balls of veggie goodness make a great alternative to meat. I served them with pasta and with a light green salad. We’ve decided to go meatfree midweek for January and I’m loving experimenting with all the amazing seasonal veg that’s available. #meatfree #midweekmeal #vegetarian
Note: to make them properly veggie, use vegetarian cheese and if anyone has a vegan alternative to the egg for binding the meatball mixture, I would love to hear it.
