Spanish meatballs

Karenopa – however much you haven’t drunk would be my estimation!

I am going to share this recipe with my friends. It sounds good and reminds me of a meatball version of swiss steak.

PM do you use dry white wine or is it a sweet wine? Its late so I guess I will have to wait until tomorrow to find out that answer as well as the amount of wine to use.

Pipa’s Mum, you didn’t cause a controversy, that’s how we normally are, joking around most of the time. Now tell me are there any Red heads in your family, that might explain the recipe being in our two families.

Nope, no red moles, hmmmmmmm, very strange. Oh I also add some smoked paprika to my meatballs to for a bit of zing. Then I cheat and use a tin of tomatoes with onions, garlic, peppers,added to the tomatoes, and make a sauce.

Thanks PM, I would have ended up adding a lot more wine!

PM I’m glad I came back and read more..I have been to the store and purchased most of the items needed..however I bought 2 bottles of wine, figuring one to drink and one for sauce…WoW that would have been some sauce!!! I’m thinking if nothing comes up I’d like to try it this weekend..I’ll let you know on Monday..

LOL..maybe I’ll just add a little more wine…no..I’ll save the wine to drink with the meatballs..It sounds soooo good..now my tummy is grumbling again..everytime i look over the recipe my mouth just waters..

I see we ALL use the “Justin Wilson” method for measuring wine for cooking. “Exactly on-n-n-n-n-ne cuppa wine!”

BTW, Giada says cook with a wine you would drink, 2b, so you seem to be doing all right. I just want to know how to eat all that rich Sicilian food and look like Giada!

We’ve accused my dad of that. We call him “the Nibbler.” The kids have even spoken about designing a super-villian costume for him. They never get past the necktie with the bottom bitten off before they have to stop becaust they’re laughing too hard!

Funny how my husband likes to watch the food network when Everyday Italian is on. You don’t suppose it has anything at all to do with all of those low cut tops that Giada wears, do you? Personally, I would take it as less of an insult if he preferred Paula Deen.
