I kind of wanted to get sandwich-makings, <em>but<\/em> it was cold. While I could easily have sold <em>warm<\/em> sandwiches &#8230; cold sandwich makings from the store had limited appeal. And, unfortunately, there&#8217;s nowhere around here to get a veggie meatball sub. We ended up getting pizzas from Pizza Hut because they now offer Beyond&#8217;s Italian sausage as a topping. It was really good (good enough we ordered another pizza the <em>next<\/em> night of our power outage), but I was still hungry for a meatball sub.<\/p>\n<p>Now that we&#8217;ve got power again, I picked up a package of Impossible&#8217;s ground-beef-style stuff. It looked pretty dodgy &#8212; a grainy lump of red stuff. I added panko, salt, shredded Parmesan cheese, ground pepper, an egg, and Italian herbs. Mixed it all up and rolled them into balls. Fried them until crispy. For a comparison, I used the same basic recipe with mushed cannellini beans. I should have made the cannellini balls smaller so they&#8217;d have been crispier.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rushworth.us\/lisa\/?attachment_id=7196\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7196\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-7196\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushworth.us\/lisa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_20201121_190434-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushworth.us\/lisa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_20201121_190434-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rushworth.us\/lisa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_20201121_190434-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushworth.us\/lisa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_20201121_190434-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rushworth.us\/lisa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_20201121_190434-750x563.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.rushworth.us\/lisa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_20201121_190434-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.rushworth.us\/lisa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_20201121_190434.jpg 1365w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Impossible meatballs were awesome. Not exactly a meatball &#8212; they were a little dry, but that would have been solved by simmering them in the sauce (something I intentionally didn&#8217;t do because I wanted them to be crispy). I think rolling the meatball around a little bit of mozzarella cheese might work too.<\/p>\n<p>Either way, we had really good meatball subs.
