Worth Knowing Before You Cook

Do not overmix the meat.

Roll the balls the same size.

If your oven runs hot, check at 15 minutes.

Line the tray to ease the cleaning.

Common Substitutions & Variations

• A dry vermouth keeps for longer than an open bottle of white wine and is the closer swap than a random white left in the fridge; for an alcohol-free version, use the same amount of stock with a squeeze of lemon.

Keeping What's Left

Keeps in the fridge for 3 days. Reheat in a hot oven.
