1/4 cup minced onion
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 dash crushed red pepper flakes to taste

Here is how you make Vegetarian Sweet and Sour "Meatballs":

1. Stir the eggs, cheddar cheese, paremsan cheese, and cottage cheese together.2. Next, mix in the spices, salt, and pecans. Add the bread crumbs and stir until combined.3. Form the mixture into 12 meatballs and place in a baking dish.4. For the sauce, whisk together all ingredients and pour over the meatballs. 5. Bake uncovered in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes. The sauce will be bubbly and delicious looking when ready!To make this extra quick, I get out my mini-food processor to chop up the onions and pecans. You don't want either to be too large as it will throw off the texture.I usually double the meatball recipe, cooking half with the sauce and tossing the other half as meatballs only into the freezer. These taste little guys hold up well in other sauces and even soups so be creative and enjoy!Number of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user TRAVELING2.
