Meatlessballs, Veggie ‘Cue

Gardenburger has two new meatless products, riblets in barbecue sauce and meatballs. The riblets have the mouth-feel of long-cooked short ribs. They are covered in a sweet barbecue sauce and can be quickly heated in the microwave. The bite-size meatballs are equally good but come without sauce. Add them to your favorite pasta or stroganoff sauce for quick, meatless entrees or serve them with a dip as an appetizer.

Gardenburger 10-ounce package Meatless Riblets, $3.89, and 12-ounce package Meatless Meatballs, $4.29, from Ralphs, Albertson’s and Vons stores.
