Some handy recipe hacks
– Use packet rice to speed up the prep process.
– If you want the meatballs to stick together better, give your water vegetables a good squeeze before adding them in to reduce the amount of water in the mix.
– A little garlic or extra Worcestershire sauce never goes astray.
– Make smaller meatballs for the smaller eater in your house.
– Add mushrooms for some extra flavour.
