About

Even the most veggie-averse kids love these crispy little meatballs. The stealthy part is kale, a nutritional powerhouse, cunningly hidden in the mince mixture. If you don’t want crispy meatballs, add them to the sauce without sautéing them beforehand and simmer, covered, for 30-40 minutes. For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free bread and oats.
