Bon Appetit Magazine Rocks!
Tonight I made these meatballs…minus the lettuce cups, just because I didn’t have any lettuce…so I threw them over spaghetti noodles instead. OH MY these are super tasty! The only other adjustments I made to the recipe were leaving out the cuc & carrots (again, didn’t have any) and only put a couple tablespoons of fish sauce in the dipping sauce. Reason being, fish sauce makes my nose turn, like REALLY smelly feet, and in my experience it kinda tastes that way too if you put too much in. (I’ve never tasted smelly feet per say, but you KNOW what I mean!!) Maybe I should have trusted the recipe, but it still turned out wonderful. The cilantro flavor is really strong so cut back on that if you’re not a fan of cilantro…but to me, the more the merrier! And if you’re lucky enough to see me at lunchtime tomorrow, which is only a select few lovely state employees, you just might get a sample :)
