    Submitted by Melanie Jacobs on 26. April 2016 - 18:24.

    I feel terrible giving this one star, but my hubby wouldnt eat it. unfortunately we both found this really bland, despite adding extra herbs and extra garlic. Not sure where this could be improved. Instructions easy to follow.

    I made this last night, made a few changes to suit our tastes but an awesome base. I added mozzarella cubes to the meatballs and i added capsicum, eggplant, zucchini &mushrooms to the sauce, this also made it so we can have it for lunch today.

    Submitted by AnneS on 4. June 2015 - 20:57.

    This was an easy and yummy dinner. I added a carrot, zucchini, red pepper and a few mushrooms to the sauce to increase the veg content. I also added a tbsp of veg stock paste. To the meatballs I added a large clove of garlic. They were so soft and enjoyed by my kids (6, 3 and 1). Thanks for the recipe.

  • Great simple healthy quick

    Submitted by Kateris on 8. February 2015 - 23:21.

    Great simple healthy quick meal!!

    Found both the balls and sauce a little bland even adding basil to sauce.

    Next time will be adding veggie stock to sauce along with 2x cans of diced tomatoes and perhaps some diced red capsicum to sweeten sauce and garlic to balls.

    i served with steamed rice with peas,corn and carrot through the rice for veggies.

    I also used coconut flour as suggested and it worked well.

    Thanks for sharing your receipe

  • Loved by the suddenly fussy

    Submitted by ReneTM5 on 15. January 2015 - 20:02.

    Loved by the suddenly fussy 4yr old!

    simple recipe, easy to follow. Whole family loved the meal, meatballs were nice and moist, more than enough sauce (no need to double the sauce).

    Paleo variations: I substituted the bread crumbs for 2 tablespoons of coconut flour, and I substituted the raw sugar for coconut sugar.

    Other variations: I had no parsley so used dried thyme in the meatballs, I also used vegetable stock in place of the salt.

  • These are very tasty indeed.

    Submitted by LittleMissSqueaker on 2. November 2014 - 14:14.

    These are very tasty indeed.  We like extra sauce so just up the tomato content, etc in the sauce part.  I found the meatballs cooked in the varoma in around 17-18 minutes, this would really depend on how large you make them.  A nice healthy dish which is easy and popular with all family members.

  • These were nice & the sauce

    Submitted by amk76 on 23. September 2014 - 21:18.

    These were nice & the sauce really was lovely. I used pork mince as that was what I had. So I just skipped the step that minced the meat. They were nice but I needed more salt to the pork balls. Will definitely make again as they were sooooo easy.

  • Yum!!! This is a winner.

    Submitted by carsternie on 17. September 2014 - 18:25.

    Yum!!! This is a winner. Simple to make, simple but yummy flavours and lovely moist meatballs. I've tried lots of recipes in the past to achieve a texture like this, maybe it's because they are steamed. As others have said I'll also try it with other meat to see if they are just as moist. This will definitely be a regular. Thanks for a great recipe.

    Submitted by raeburn on 10. September 2013 - 17:56.

    Loved this recipe.

     

    Exactly the right amount of mixture to fill the varoma top and bottom but still enough space for the steam to move.

     

    I substituted half the chicken for the same amounts of carrot and zucchini to veg this up a bit. :

    Thanks for recipe. I love the way the amounts form exactly the right number of meatballs for the top (25) and bottom (9) of the Varoma so that there is room for the steam to move. Very happy!!  Big Smile
