I just came from around the corner (I check on my 77 year old friend). She has family right across the street but no one cares. So I sit on her porch and keep her company.
She gave me a recipe I never thought of for meatballs.
She said: "My mother NEVER fried them, baked them or cooked them before she put them in the pot of sauce".
I said 'what do you mean, she never cooked them, don't you have to brown them first before you put them in the sauce??"
And she said "my mother just made the mixture, (using a lot of breadcrumbs to hold them together I would gather). Then she formed balls, and put the balls into the sauce and cooked on low heat for 60 minutes.
She said 'You have never tasted anything so delicious in your life".
So, Melody is doing this next week.
I shall try a brand new recipe for turkey meatballs.
I can smell the tomato sauce cooking now!!!! lol
