About

Perfect for those who want to cut down on their consumption of red meat, these meatballs (which can be made with chicken) provide an excellent and delicious alternative. And they have the added health bonus of being steamed rather than fried. Lightly spiced with nutmeg and flavoured with rosemary and Parmesan, they are wonderful covered with the red pepper and tomato sauce.
