Being human, we adore meatballs. Even if you’ve adopted a vegan or vegetarian lifestyle, we bet that you miss the everlovin’ heck out of them. Meatballs taste so good. And, thank heavens; they’re enjoying a majestic renaissance in the culinary world.
Not just for pasta and potlucks anymore, meatballs have appeared on the menus of some of our favorite restaurants. And, at least twice monthly, you can find them in our kitchen.
Ours aren’t grandma’s meatballs. Actually, they sometimes are; she had a killer recipe—very Old County. But, we’re young, hip and fresh. And, we mix it up. That’s why we consult “I love meatballs!” by Rick Rodgers. This meatball bible offers a collection of recipes with a range of tastes and ingredients. Pork. Shrimp. Beef. Crab. Turkey. All meat that you can ball.
We recently made Greek meatballs. They’re pictured below with toasted pita, tzatziki and cucumber, tomato and feta salad. That there is the stuff.
