Congrats to SmallKitchCara on the tikka masala meatballs! I've made the sauce twice since she posted it. More detailed (wildly enthusiastic) comments are posted on the recipe itself. I plan to test freeze a batch and if it's a success, will make quadruple batches to freeze. It's the best!! ;o)
EP - are there two better syllables? It's an honor to be in such great company. Thank you so much.
I'll take Nonna's!
I would love to test the lion's head meatballs.
Wow, just coming up for air after a crazy day at the office - thank you so much for the EP, team food52! I'm honored to be in such great company, and congrats to the mouthwatering finalists!
This is from your friendly editors at Food52.
added about 1 year agoJust two recipes still up for testing, Nonna's Meatballs and Lion's Head Meatballs.
I'm happy to test Lulu Kabobs , I think they are still available. (Football is still a ball, even though it's not a sphere, so egg shaped Lulu Kabobs should still be considered meatballs!)
Oh, oh--Lulu kabobs are not available, how about No More turkey leftovers?
I'll take the Lulu Kabobs - sounds like dinner tonight for my household!
Congrats to the EPs. There is much to learn from all these amazing techniques and combinations! Very inspiring.
I would like to try the Lamb Meatballs with yogurt Sauce.
buffalo, mushroom, feta meatballs please...
Congrats to the already tested EPs!! I am not sure how much cook-time I have this weekend so am resisting testing (though I love doing it ...)
I'd like to try Stewed Pork Meatballs and Escarole with Crisped Shiitakes, please.
Hope you enjoy them SallyCan. Napa cabbage is much easier to find and I highly recommend it if you can't find escarole or don't dig bitter greens.
I would love to try "Oh No You Didn't" - "Yes I Did" Meatballs, please. Thanks!
I'll take the Pearl balls please.
Thank you sticknscones
I'd like to make Fish Meatballs in Spicy Red Pepper Sauce, please!
awesome! can't wait to hear how they turn out!
Knock-off Leon Moroccan Meatballs please.
Thanks, I think they are so wonderful it does them an injustice to call them knock-off, but credit where credit is due.
Aunt Julie's Meatballs, please! And thank you. ;o)
:) Thanks, AJ!
I'd love to try the Albondigas :-)
This is from your friendly editors at Food52.
added about 1 year agoSorry katyskitchen just beat you to them. Please choose another recipe.
I would love to try the Albondigas!!
Meatballs with currants and pine nuts, please!
Oh, and thanks for nominating Aunt Julie's meatballs to be tested--she will be thrilled!
I'd love to try Wild salmon ginger meatballs please
Thanks Culinista Annouchka! I just noticed a little typo in my recipe - when it says to combine all ingredients in the bowl of the food processor it should be all ingredients EXCEPT the oil. The oil is for the cooking of the meatballs. Sorry about that.
Duly noted! Thanks for the correction Gingerroot!
I would like to make Myrtle's meatballs
Thanks for nominating this as an ep candidate, which is an honor. Thanks everyone for all the great recipes this week. I really learned so much about meatballs from you all!
