Veggie ‘forcemeat’ balls
Make a veggie version of forcemeat balls using vegetarian suet and breadcrumbs, similar to stuffing balls. They make a perfect festive side dish or party snack
Method
step 1
Mix the suet, breadcrumbs, parsley and two eggs together in a large bowl. If too dry, add the third egg – when squeezed, the mixture should clump together. Roll into golf-ball-sized balls (you should get about 14) and arrange in a single layer on a lightly oiled baking tray. Will keep covered and chilled for up to 24 hrs or frozen for three months.
step 2
Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and bake for 15-20 mins until golden brown, then serve warm alongside Christmas dinner or as a starter with cranberry sauce.
