Yield: 4

Ingredients
- 8 oz. plant-based meat (like Impossible or Beyond)
- 8 oz. plant-based sausage (crumbled)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened plant milk
- 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 Tbsp chopped parsley
- 1  small shallot (finely chopped)
- 3 - 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 Tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp allspice
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp White Pepper
- Salt and pepper to taste
- More parsley (for garnish)
- 1/4 cup Vegan Butter
- 5 Tbsp flour
- 2 cups beefless broth (or veggie broth)
- 1/4 cup vegan sour cream (or cashew cream)
- 2 tsp Soy Sauce
- 2 tsp Vegan Worcestershire
- 1 tsp Dijon Mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup cashews
- 1 cup unsweetened plant milk
- 1 tsp lemon juice (more to taste)
- Salt to taste

Instructions
1. [Cashew Cream] Soak your cashews in boiling water for 10 minutes.
2. [Cashew Cream] Drain and blend your soaked cashews and the rest of the ingredients for the cashew cream in a high speed blender. Adjust salt and lemon juice to taste.
3. [Meatballs] In a bowl, combine all the ingredients for the meatballs and mix with your hands or a spatula (I find hands are the best and it's fun!)
4. [Meatballs] Take about 1 oz. of the meatball mixture and roll into a ball. I used a scooper to make sure they were all the same size.
5. [Meatballs] When all meatballs are rolled, add some oil to a pan over medium heat. Once oil is heated, add the meatballs and brown them on all sides.
6. [Meatballs] After meatballs have browned, remove from the pan and set aside.
7. [Gravy] In the same pan let's make the gravy. Add the vegan butter and melt. Once melted, whisk in the flour a tablespoon at a time to form the roux. Cook for a minute or so.
8. [Gravy] Add the beefless or veggie broth slowly, about 1/2 cup at a time, whisking the entire time to combine and avoid lumps. Repeat until all the broth is whisked in.
9. [Gravy] Then add the soy sauce, Dijon mustard, worcestershire, and vegan sour / cashew cream. Adjust to taste.
10. [Gravy] Drizzle as much gravy as you like over the meatballs and serve with pasta, mashed potatoes or on a hoagie roll!
