Steps

1. 01

   Microwave the tofu for 2 minutes and press out the moisture.

2. 02

   In a food processor, combine the tofu from step 1, 2T oatmeal, 5T hemp seeds, a pinch of salt and parsley, and 1/4t minced garlic, mix evenly, then shape into balls. Let rest for at least 15 minutes. (I was short on time today, so I seared them with a torch and microwaved off the moisture instead - don't recommend it.)

3. 03

   In a pan, sauté minced garlic in olive oil with a can of whole peeled tomatoes, then add a reasonable amount of salt, pepper, and herbs, and simmer gently to make the tomato sauce.

4. 04

   Add the veggie balls from step 2 and simmer over medium heat for about 10 minutes.

5. 05

   Plate it and sprinkle with a little parsley.
