Bean Balls

V’con Spaghetti and Bean Balls
With another winter storm headed our way tomorrow all I’m thinking about are warm and comforting meals. One of my favorite’s is the Spaghetti and Bean Ball recipe from Veganomicon. I’m a sucker for kidney beans and have been adding them to everything lately but my favorite way to eat them is in this bean ball recipe. Something magical happens to them when they are fried up in oil and then covered in your favorite sauce. Before I’ve even smothered them in a tomato sauce I’ve eaten at least 3 of them. I just can’t get enough.
My real favorite way to eat them is as leftovers. I smother a ciabatta roll with softened butter and garlic which I then toast in the oven a la Garlic Bread and heat up the leftover bean balls and sauce on the stove. Once bread and balls are done cooking I make one of the most delicious sandwiches I’ve ever eaten.

That sandwich looks and sounds amazing! I should really check out that recipe — we really don’t eat kidney beans much, and perhaps it’s time to remedy that!
P.S. Congrats on the new member of your family coming soon!

I love the bean balls & haven’t made them in ages–this is problematic! They’d be especially heavenly on that ciabatta!

I agree! I make the Vcon bean balls on a pretty regular basis but NEED to try them on the garlic toasted ciabatta. Hmmm…tonight sounds good!
