A great tasting meat ball , had enough for left overs , Thanks for a great recipe, will make again - 20 Jul 2012
Very tasty and easy to make. Try dipping in plum sauce, or lemon sauce for a snack time tasty. - 25 Sep 2010
Something else. For a sauce, I browned 8 meatballs (put the rest in the fridge for another time) in 2 tsp of vegetable oil then took our the meatballs and placed them in the ceramic dish. I then poured in a cup of water and one chicken stock cube (didn't have any beef ones) and started to simmer. Added the remaining 190 ml of cream (from the 250 ml carton that I bought) and stirred. Added flour to thicken. Noticed it was a bit on the lumpy side so placed the whole sauce into a blender for about 30 seconds. Poured this sauce over the meatballs and covered with foil in the over for 30 minutes. Turned out lovely!! Almost forgot - added a pinch of nutmeg to the sauce. - 30 Jul 2009 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
