Beef & Zucchini Meatballs review - page 157 Baby & Toddler book

[judydawn]

No trouble choosing something from the book for GS's lunch today - his favourite meal is meatballs, his most unfavourite vegetable is zucchini so this was perfect.

I added a tsp garlic paste but that was the only addition for this recipe.  I managed to get 32 meatballs, enough for us both for lunch and a pack to send home with him tonight.  He kept saying 'mmm yummy' whilst eating this meal and I enjoyed them too. I couldn't coax him into have any of the vegie-au-gratin I made though.

Were the meatballs moist Judy? My girl like meatballs as long as they are moist.  TIA

Yes Astarra, they were certainly not dry.  I am not a great meatball lover but even I enjoyed these.

[Wonder]

Astarra have you tried adding breadcrumbs which have been soaked in milk to your meatballs? We've doing that since seeing it on Gordon Ramsey's show and it makes a big difference.

Thanx Judy and Wonder 
A new recipe to try and a new tip to try.

These meatballs have that instruction in the recipe girls.

Sneaky Grandma Judy. Putting zucchini into Fletcher's meatballs. 

I love the photo.

Made these the other day. They are so simple and very soft when moulding. I used the oven method and was very happy with how they turned out. Makes just a little more than it says and this is quite a large size. Lovely light texture.

I made this for the family tonight for dinner & was big hit with none left 😄

Easy to make, tasty & moist ... I oven bake them too.
