👩 description

an adaptation and simplification of a friend's recipe. the sauce is good with a lot of different vegetables, but i like it best with asparagus. this amount will (probably) leave you with some extra to experiment with. adjust the amount of curry powder to your liking--i have to please the kid!-- the sauce tastes best if you can let it sit for about half an hour. i usually make it first, then start the rest of dinner. i've also served this cold as an appetizer salad.

💬 Reviews (Wow! Easy to prepare - first time i've ever tried meatballs and it tasted just great! If you want a tastey and easy recipe try this - although you'll get your kitchen dirty! PS> Great one to make with the kids!)

a nice dress-up for steamed asparagus.

💬 Reviews (Fantastic recipe! It gave enough for 2 dinners and the kids just love the meatballs (as did the adults)! I don't think I'll be making meatballs any other way, because I've tried many meatball recipes that just didn't cut it. I followed everything to the letter except I used brown sugar and added a big splash of red wine.)

try to use only freshly shaved or grated parmesan cheese for this, it melts and tastes better! double the recipe if desired.

💬 Reviews (I loved the meatballs, but found the sauce to be a little sweet from the sugar. I think next time I will cut it down to 1 tsp. sugar. We enjoyed it, but will make again with a little tweaking.)

quick and delicious accompanyment to any meal. the lemon pepper and cheese really compliment the fresh taste of asparagus.

💬 Reviews (Very simple and easy recipe. Next time I would brush olive oil on each sheet before wrapping around chicken. I would also add another layer of phyllo pastry because it is sooooo yummy! I also wrapped bite size pieces of goat cheese in 3 layers of phyllo and cooked it for 12 minutes with the chicken. I served it on top of baby greens with balsamic dressing and baked asparagus. Yummy dinner -- thanks!)
