Added sweet thai chili sauce and minced chili and garlic. Omited red peppers due to allergy issues. I used soft lactose free feta and added a little low fat cream cheese as I was a little short on feta. I mixed this with italian herbs and pepper before forming into lumps with teaspoons. Did not have breadcrums so used wheat bran. Baked the meatballs in the oven so I did not have to tend them and as when I cook in a pan they usually end up oddly shaped and as this had a filling I was worried they would fall apart with my heavy hand. The filling leaked out the meatballs some but I just added the whole lot to the sauce. It was a god recipe even though I abused it a little on the substitutions. - 25 Sep 2012 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
