  • Mushroom sauce and the mash

    Submitted by sarah16 on 28. July 2015 - 21:05.

    Mushroom sauce and the mash were lovely, but I was a little disappointed in the meatballs.... Overall meal took a lot more effort than I would have liked, and resulting dish wasn't 10/10. Some steamed greens on the side would boost the dish I think tmrc_emoticons.-)

  • Hi, is there any other flour

    Submitted by Celeste_d84 on 21. July 2015 - 15:16.

    Hi, is there any other flour that can be used other than Tapioca Flour? I don't have it in the cupboard but can get some if only can be used. I have coconut & quinoa flour. Meal doesn't have to be entirely paleo either tmrc_emoticons.) TIA

  • This tasted amazing,

    Submitted by Naturally Neet on 19. May 2015 - 20:15.

    This tasted amazing, especially the gravy! I used beef and chicken mince. I wanted steamed silverbeet, so I put leaves of it on the base of the varoma, underneath the meatballs (it also made the varoma easier to clean afterwards). I also put some beans in to steam with the sweet potato in the simmering basket. I think adding these 2 more veggies made the juice underneath even more tastier.

    The amount of mash is very small so next time I will add more sweet potato & pumpkin.

    these are lovely.  I have just made the meat balls without the egg as I can not eat eggs and they stayed together really well.

    For all the effort I expected it to taste a lot better. Lots of different steps... Not to mention the cleaning

  • Very tasty!! The meatballs

    Submitted by carawissink on 6. June 2014 - 11:01.

    Very tasty!! The meatballs were taking so long to steam I decided to put them in the oven. They turned out much better. Next time I will use a little less tapioca flour in the gravy.

    Oh my gravy!

    This was really nice.  It does have a lot of steps so not the quickest meal but the mushroom gravy is really, really good and it all works nicely together.  Thanks so much for posting

  • I wanted to eat the mushroom

    Submitted by kirsco on 31. March 2014 - 21:36.

    I wanted to eat the mushroom gravy like it was a soup, so freakin good! I also had a lot of mince mix, I ended up with the balls touching, but they come apart pretty easily.

    Submitted by arna on 7. January 2014 - 22:12.

    I made this recipe tonight and it was a massive success with all the family. As a family of 5 I made a double batch of the mash (based on previous comment) and have meatballs left over for pasta tomorrow. A massive thank you!

  • I made this tonight and it

    Submitted by mummy-mix on 12. December 2013 - 21:46.

    I made this tonight and it was delicious!  I love how there were hidden veggies in the meatballs for my 3-year-old tmrc_emoticons.;) I followed the recipe exactly, but found there was so much meatball mix I ended up freezing some once I had filled both varoma trays.  There also wasn't enough mash to go around - if I wanted to increase the quantity of pumpkin and sweet potato, would this affect the cooking time of the meatballs?  Might also serve some steamed veggies on the side like some beans or something.  Great recipe! tmrc_emoticons.)
