Meatballs and peas in red sauce. Have you ever met a child who doesn't like meatballs with peas in red sauce? We didn't think so. This dish is reminiscent of a daycare lunch, but in the best way possible — homemade, easy, fun, and a winner at any age. It must be served with white rice.
Chicken meatballs that will teach you something new. This recipe taught us that if you simply chop the chicken instead of grinding it, you get completely different meatballs with a great bite and a distinct character. The fluffiness and lightness are a wonderful way to rediscover the world of chicken meatballs. Fry them and serve with a lemon wedge.
The juiciest and tastiest baked chicken meatballs in the country. Even for those who dislike frying, we have something special — the tastiest meatballs we have ever managed to make in the oven. We won't claim they taste exactly like fried ones, as that would be a lie, but they are delicious, juicy, perfectly seasoned, and overall very successful. The first secret, though not the only one, is the inclusion of plenty of vegetables in the mixture.
Lentil and herb meatballs. These vegetarian (note: not vegan) meatballs are based on green lentils, packed with a whole bunch of parsley and a boost of crushed coriander seeds. While they can be baked, we highly recommend frying them. Bon appétit!
