Meatballs!
Aug. 26th, 2008 12:15 pmI made homemade meatball sandwiches last night. As in, meatball sandwiches with homemade meatballs.
I have never made meatballs before. I never really liked them as a kid, and I do not really like the gigantic incarnations I sometimes run into as an adult. I do, however, for some perverse reason, like meatball sandwiches, and G. was having a craving, so I decided to give it a go.
Meatballs are really easy! I used the recipe from Bruce Aidell's meat cookbook as my base, and they really take about a half hour at most to put together, maybe ten minutes in the pan.
I made them on the smallish side, which I think helped my appreciation in the long run. And they were so good! Moist but not greasy, lightly seasoned but definitely tasting like more than just ground beef. Yum, yum. Especially on a bun adorned with mozzarella cheese and tomato sauce, but I'm sure it's just as lovely the traditional way with spaghetti. (Maybe I will find out over lunch or dinner!)
