MEATLESS MEATBALL SLIDERS

Steps:

• Combine the nuts and garlic in a food processor and pulse to a coarse crumb. Add the panko, Parmesan, parsley, a big pinch of salt and a few turns of pepper and pulse to combine. Add the eggs and process until the mixture holds together in a ball. Roll the mixture into 1 1/2 tablespoon-size balls, packing just firmly enough so they hold together but not so much that they toughen. Put the balls on a plate or sheet of parchment paper.
• Warm the tomato sauce in a large pot over medium heat.
• Heat 1/4 inch of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the balls in batches, turning, until they're golden brown on all sides, 7 to 10 minutes. (Alternatively, you can deep-fry the suckers if that's what you're into.) Add to the tomato sauce.
• Put 1 slice of mozzarella, 2 balls and 1 or 2 basil leaves on each roll. Serve with additional sauce and chopped parsley or basil on the side.

MINI MEATBALL SLIDERS

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until slightly softened, about 2 minutes; remove to a plate. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook, turning, until browned all over, about 1 minute. (You might have to do this in 2 batches.)
• Pour in the marinara sauce and return the onion to the skillet; gently stir. Cover and simmer 20 minutes.
• When ready to serve, split the dinner rolls and sprinkle some mozzarella on the bottom rolls. Top each with a meatball, some sauce and more mozzarella and sandwich with the top rolls.
