Join Chrissy Tracey as she makes vegan meatballs with a Marcella Hazan inspired tomato sauce. This recipe was actually inspired by Chris Morocco's (non-vegan) meatball recipe. Instead of using beef, Chrissy uses lentils as the mainframe of the meatball, mixed with oat milk-soaked bread. The oat milk adds a little more fat content to the recipe, giving the meatballs a much fuller taste.
