Instructions
Start by cooking down the mushrooms and salt in a cast iron skillet. Do this over medium high heat. This is the best way to get deep, dark mushrooms. Cook them down until they're pretty well browned and then add the remaining mushroom mixture ingredients. Continue cooking over medium heat until the garlic and jalapenos become fragrant.
Divide into two equal portions and set aside.
To make the meatballs, add all the ingredients for that to a food processor and pulse until a it starts lumping together.
Use a small 1.5 oz scoop to form small balls. Rolls them into orbs with your hands and arrange on a sheet tray lined with a sil pat that is lightly greased with non-stick spray. Set aside in the fridge.
Preheat oven to 400 F.
To make the gravy, add all the sauce ingredients to a small sauce pot. Stir to combine and simmer over a medium low heat until it thickens slightly.
When the oven is ready bake your vegan meatballs for 12-14 minutes. Until lightly browned and slightly crispy on the exterior.
Enjoy.
