Instructions
Meatballs
Mix all the meatball ingredients until thoroughly mixed.
Shape mixture into 2-inch balls.
Place meatballs on greased jelly roll pan. (For easy clean-up, cover the jelly roll pan with parchment paper before placing the meatballs on it.)
Cook uncovered in 350-degree oven until lightly browned, about 30-40 minutes.
Sauce
Melt margarine/butter in a saucepan, stir in flour.
Cook over low heat, stir constantly until mixture forms little balls.
Slowly add the cashew milk and water.
Continue stirring, add the bouillon and salt.
Heat to boiling and continue to stir until the sauce is a thick gravy.
To Serve
Place the meatballs in a glass casserole dish, cover with the sauce, sprinkle with snipped parsley and heat for 2 minutes in the microwave.
Alternatively, you could bake the meatballs in the sauce in the oven for about 15 minutes at 350F degrees.
Serve over cooked wide noodles with a green vegetable on the side.
