Meatless Mushroom Meatballs

Instructions

1 Wash potato, place in a pot and cover with salted water. Cook until tender,
about 25 minutes. Test for doneness by poking with a toothpick. If the toothpick
goes all the way in smoothly, the potato is ready. Peel, mash and set aside.
2 Meanwhile, prepare the mushrooms: Wash and cut mushrooms into fourths. In a
medium saucepan, saute mushrooms in 2 tbsp olive oil, stirring occasionally.
After the mushrooms start to cook, they will begin to release their liquid.
Continue cooking until all of the liquid is gone. Once the liquid is gone the
mushrooms will begin to caramelize, and there will be a bit of brown in the
bottom of the pan. Keep a close eye to make sure they don't burn. Once the pan
is dry and there is a bit of brown in the bottom of the pan, remove from heat
and chop mushrooms very fine.

Optional: For added flavor, deglaze the mushrooms with 1/4 cup dry red wine.
Once the pan is dry and there is a bit of brown in the bottom of the pan, add
1/4 cup wine and cook until wine evaporates. Remove mushrooms from heat and chop
very fine.
3 In a large bowl, add mushrooms, mashed potato, egg, parsley, marjoram, garlic,
nutmeg, parmigiana and 1/4 cup breadcrumbs. Mix well.

Using your hands, form round balls about 1 inch in diameter. Each ball measures
about 1 tablespoon. Put 1/4 cup of breadcrumbs into a small bowl and coat each
meatball.
4 Heat remaining olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. When oil is
hot but not smoking, add meatballs and cook until brown on one side, about 4
minutes. Turn meatballs to brown the other side and cook for another 4-5
minutes. You want a ball that is browned on all sides. Add more oil as needed.

Remove from heat and place meatballs on paper towels to drain briefly.

Serve with your favorite tomato sauce

grated parmigiana cheese.

These meatless meatballs go perfectly with a dry red wine.
