Check out my fat!

Today, Dirt Candy heads over to Meatball Madness and I’m excited and nervous and psyched and scared about how my vegetable meatballs are going to be received by this hardcore, red-meat-chomping, meatball-noshing crowd. In the post about how I made these meatballs I talked about my journey to get “fat” into a vegetable meatball. Fat makes up so much of the taste of a meatball, but vegetables don’t have any whatsoever fat so this was one of my biggest challenges. The solution? I had to fabricate fat from scratch and I wound up using a modified riff on Dirt Candy’s portobello mousse. A couple of people emailed asking what it looked like, so I thought I’d let you guys see a photo of my fake fat in all its pasty glory:
