Polpette carote e porri

 

 

Another teaser from the meatballs series, this time meatballs with carrots and leeks. They have a super crunchy cereal bread crust but are extra soft inside. Some hearty spices that include cumin make them a great comfort food. An apple and leek salad adds to the zestiness of the dish.

Boules de Picolat

 

Boules de Picolat or Catalan meatballs - despite their name, they are actually a dish tipical of the southern French region of Roussillon bordering with Spain. A mixture of beef and pork, tipically served with white beans in a spicy tomato sauce, but mine are served with chickpeas instead. I added also one more secret ingredient into the meatballs themselves to make them unlike any other Catalan meatballs ;)

Here I give you just a teaser, since I decided to save my meatball recipes for a special collection that I'm putting together.
