MEAT(less)BALLLLLLLLLLLS

if you know how to make a worth-a-sh!t marinara,
raise your hand.
i'm not saying you should be punished if you only like jar sauce-
that's punishment enough.
but great marinara is essentially the thick tomato lifeblood of anyone
with italian DNA.
without a great sauce, you only have half of something good.
the sauce is molto important when you're making italian sandwiches.
that's a fact.
i made mine a few days ago,
so it could get better with time,
and i was NOT disappointed.
it's sandwich week,
and that means expertism is in full effect,
so you'd best be sure that the sauce is perfect.
otherwise, a meatless wheatless ball is gonna just suck balls instead
of satisfying the cravings of a madman.
look:

EXXXTRA SAUCE IS THE WAY!
a bed of arugula,
topped with caramelized onions,
and then four sauce-soaked spheres of vegan hottness,
straight from the pot.
mmmmhmmmm.
huh?
the bread IS toasted at 400℉,
buttered, garlic powdered, black peppered,
and sprankled with minced daiya mozzarella chee'.
yep...minced, because rules is rules.
fried garlic slices do the trick, neighbors.
when you need extra extras, always go garlic.
that's the right answer.
-
if you need a marinara recipe, i guess use this one.
then make it your own.
same goes for the bread.
the same post has a decent recipe for that, too.

-
chick pea flour,
oat flour,
tapioca starch,
vegetable broth,
parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme, basil, red pepper flakes, GPOP, black pepper,
onion,
garlic,
red wine vinegar,
and love.
blah blah blah.
i already linked all the recipes, so just know that i always do it a little different
every. single. time.
because that's how you make and have a ball, y'all.
and i always make meatless balls,
but these days, this time,
i've also been making a second sandwich every single day.
that's right.
classics, and adventures, back to back,
every damned morning.
i mean, just check the teleport:

DAMN.
that's pretty good.
and those parsley sprankles make it look better.
they're gluten-free, because practice makes perfect for stuff like this,
and when you have a gluten-free person who may need a few balls thrown her way?
well,
it's always good to be prepared just in case;
never quiet, never soft.....
