Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (180°C). Prepare a flaxseed egg if using, allowing it to thicken for about 5 minutes.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, add oil and sauté the chopped onions for 2-3 minutes until lightly browned. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  3. Transfer sautéed onions, chickpeas, and panko breadcrumbs to a food processor with seasonings and flaxseed egg. Blend until combined.
  4. Form mixture into balls about the size of golf balls, aiming for 15 in total. Place on parchment-lined baking sheet, brushing with oil.
  5. Bake for 20-30 minutes, turning halfway through until golden brown and firm.
  6. While baking, bring a pot of salted water to boil. Add quartered potatoes and cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  7. In another skillet, heat oil, add mushrooms and onions, sauté for 5-7 minutes until caramelized. Stir in garlic for 1 additional minute.
  8. Whisk flour (or cornstarch), soy sauce, mustard, and vegetable broth until smooth. Add to skillet with mushrooms and stir continuously until gravy thickens.
  9. Serve mashed potatoes topped with no-meat balls and drizzled with vegan gravy.

Notes

For best results, mash potatoes while warm and ensure no-meat ball mixture isn’t too wet. Adjust baking time as needed for larger balls.
