Vegetarian Meat-less Balls recipe

This is a really tasty recipe I was given by an older client years ago. She said they used it during World War II when meat was being rationed. I've adapted it to be gluten free.

Vegetarian Meat-Less Balls
1 c cooked carrots
1 c walnut-- chopped fine (chop up in food processor or blender)
1 c gluten free bread crumbs (I use Gillian's Foods breadcrumbs -- I find them at Hannafords)
1 bunch chopped scallions green tops only (was originally 1 medium onion)
1/4 c catsup (the kind with sugar, not corn syrup)
1 celery stalk chopped (was 1/2 stalk originally)
1 T olive oil
1/4 t salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder (originally had 2 crushed garlic cloves)
1 teaspoon onion powder
2 eggs well beaten

Mix all ingredients and place two to three balls on a non-stick cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. (Can be made into a loaf using greased loaf pan and cover w/ tomato sauce-- but this is not as good).

Notes: These taste great all by themselves, and are not very good with tomatoe sauce.
