Hi everyone,
I’m back and I do hope that you are all well. 🙂 Thank you again for all your lovely messages, truly very appreciated. 🙂
I am trying to get back to my routine but it is always difficult after a break. I was going to start out the a delicious Artichoke recipe which is a delicious summer dish, but I decided to go with my Greek Meatball recipe. When we arrived back in NL it was quite cold so the Spicy Meatball Recipe was a better option. 🙂
I marinated the Meatballs overnight in Tomato Sauce and then slow cooked them for about 3 hours on low heat. This make the meat more tender and it absorbs all those delicious tastes in the sauce. In the sauce to make a spicy I added a pepper flakes. I think I overdid it a bit because it wasn’t just spicy it was wayyyyy to hot and spicy…:) We were gulping down that water so fast!!! hehehhehe
Have a lovely day everyone!! 🙂
