Spiced Meatballs in Fragrant Tomato Cauce
When I first read this recipe I thought that sounds really tasty. As I was cooking it I thought..hhmm.
I did make one change in that I did not saute my meatballs in the oil. Rather I baked them. Everything else I did exactly.
There is a lot of citrus going here. But I have to admit the flavors really go well with each other. I also did the Lemon Pastina and this is a must! I can't imagine the meatballs/sauce with anything else. The lemon flavor is so light and compliments the orange flavors found in the sauce.
The gremolata is also a must for the flavor. The only thing I was questioning was the orange zest in the gremolata and not lime zest. Lime and cilantro go hand in hand in my book.
Overall rating I give this a 9 out of 10.
