Directions
Keftaides Me Saltsa (Meatballs in Sauce), I came across this recipe in the most serendipitous manner on my way to work going 50mph I saw some trash blowing across the road it got stuck to my car and I could hear it fluttering all the way to work When I got out of my car I found a piece of newspaper stuck to my front grill I took it off and what was it? A torn out page from a week old newspaper that has 4 yummy sounding recipes! Wow I feel obligated to post them now , I made these with lamb – 2 serves for tonight’s dinner and the rest for the freezer I made them pretty much to the recipe, except for adding 3 cloves of finely minced garlic to both the meatballs and the sauce, and cooking them at a medium heat in the oven on trays loosely covered in foil rather than panfrying them Easier and less fat I removed the foil for the last 5 minutes They meatballs were moist and favoursome and the sauce was very tasty I finely minced 4 medium-sized onions and used half in the meatballs – sorry didn’t bother to measure them in tablespoons but the quantity seemed right – and half in the sauce used 2 cans of tomatoes (easier, and Aldi’s Italian tomatoes are just SO excellent!), drained, in the sauce, and used merlot rather than white wine in the sauce as that was the most suitable wine I had on hand Thanks for sharing this recipe, Engrossed – and the universe!, Very good Kind of an unusual taste but yummy none-the-less You couldnt taste the mint and the cinnamon was very subtle, more an accent than a flavor
