Meatballs are infinitely versatile; they can be filled with lots of vegetables (think chopped carrots and celery) and they can be dressed in different sauces. They can be made with ground chicken, turkey, beef, lamb, or veal (or even a combination). I hope these six meatball variations inspire you in the kitchen to reinvent this dinner staple. My basic recipe yields 35 1-inch balls.

Ingredients

Main ingredients

  • 35 1-inch uncooked meatballs (recipe)

  • 1 onion, thinly sliced

  • 3 tablespoons oil

  • 2 cups frozen peas, rinsed

  • 2 cloves garlic, sliced

  • 1 cup boiling water

  • 2 teaspoons salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

  • 1 teaspoon turmeric

  • 2 cups couscous, cooked according to directions

In a 13-inch wide pan over medium heat, sauté onion in oil until translucent. Add meatballs, frying them on each side until golden brown.

2.
