I’ve to admit, these meatballs have been an absolute delight to eat. I ate them every single day, for every week straight, and merely couldn’t get sufficient. When I ran out, I severely thought-about making one other batch to eat over the course of one other week.
They actually simply hit the spot.
Now, initially, I used to be gonna name these meatballs one thing alongside the traces of “tangy sauced,” however then I tasted it and yeah, they style like Sweet and Sour. It wasn’t the anticipated consequence, and but I’m insanely happy.
P.S. The sauce right here is so good, my daughter requested if I’d make it once more and apply it to wings. Yeah, I feel I can deal with that!
Note: This could be nice served with steamed caulirice or broccoli. It would even be actually superior as an appetizer for a celebration or potluck!
