Peggy chose this week's Eating with Ellie theme, Bite-Sized Dinner. This one made me put my thinking cap on - what could I make to fill the brief? Then I was flicking through Comfort Food Fix, and found Ellie's Swedish Meatballs recipe. Perfect. Meatballs are bite-sized!
One problem that I faced in making this dish is that I do not have a working broiler. Ellie broils the meatballs to give them caramelisation instead of frying them. Without caramelisation, the meatballs lacked a little flavour. They did get better after day 1, but I strongly recommend that you either broil the meatballs as per the recipe, or if you don't have a broiler, shallow fry them in a fry pan.
To see what the others made for their bite-sized dinners, visit the LYL section of the Eating with Ellie website.
Meatballs! What a great idea! I'm sorry I did not get around to making anything this week. I did good to get cookies made. You are always so good and consistent with your cooking and posting. An inspiration tome!
ReplyDeleteThis is the perfect dish for this cooler weather. I love the creamy sauce the most :D
ReplyDeleteI like this theme ;) Great idea to make meatballs too.
ReplyDeletePerfect bite-size dinner for sure...and I love everything else on that plate as well. Yum, what a lovely dinner.
ReplyDeleteI have heard a lot about Swedish Meatballs, but have never made them. Is a broiler a grill??? That looks like a delicious meal!!
