Bursting with essential nutrients, plant-based protein, and the rich goodness of walnuts, these vegetarian meatballs are a harmonious blend of the finest fresh, organic ingredients. We’ve adapted our recipe from one of our walnut suppliers, Tricket’s Grove, which showcased their recipe on Country Calendar in 2022. This recipe is a satisfying meal for two which can be easily scaled up to feed a group. This versatile nut mixture can also be pan fried and used as a mince substitute for vegetarian tacos or bolognaise. The possibilities are endless and scrummy!
