  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
     1/2   c            Sunflower seeds
     1/4   c            Cashews -- chopped
     1/4   c            Peanuts -- unsalted
   1       c            Whole grain bread crumbs --
                        - dry
   3                    Eggs worth of egg substitute
   2       cl           Garlic -- pressed
   1       tb           Tamari
     1/4   ts           Celery seed
     1/2   ts           Basil
   4       c            Tomato sauce or spaghetti sauce

  Place the sunflower seeds, cashews and peanuts in a blender and
  grind them. The size of the ground pieces is not very important,
  but make sure they are not too big.
  
  Place the ground nuts in a medium-sized bowl and add the bread
  crumbs, eggs, garlic, tamari, celery seed, and basil. Mix well and
  shape the mixture into walnut-sized balls.
  
  Place the tomato sauce in a large kettle and bring to a gentle
  simmer. Drop the balls into the sauce. Cover and let simmer for
  about 15 minutes.
  
  Serve with whole grain spaghetti and a big green salad.
