The Weekly Recipe

Recipe: Meatballs (No. 48) Category: Lunch or Dinner

Notes of Experience:

• Personally, I love using salt and pepper in a lot of recipes, simple or difficult.  Salt and pepper gives basic seasoning to the dish, but gives all the difference.

• When sprinkling the ingredient mix with salt, I suggest taking a few medium-sized pinches, depending on how salty you like your food.  If you don’t know how salty you want to make it, you’d rather underseason than overseason the meatballs.  When serving, if you find the food is less seasoned than you’d have liked, you can always add more salt.

• When sprinkling the pepper, I suggest a few shakes, but again, don’t overseason.

• Spread out the seasoning.  Add some salt and pepper when mixing, then again after mixing.  It makes sure everything is well seasoned.
