I made this for dinner tonight. The sauce was runny. Meat balls where nice.
i wont be making it again.
its nice but not heaps of flavour. i added a ton of butter and salt to the mash.
too much celaning up.
"Closed lid"
too much washing up.
Mushroom sauce and the mash were lovely, but I was a little disappointed in the meatballs.... Overall meal took a lot more effort than I would have liked, and resulting dish wasn't 10/10. Some steamed greens on the side would boost the dish I think
Hi, is there any other flour that can be used other than Tapioca Flour? I don't have it in the cupboard but can get some if only can be used. I have coconut & quinoa flour. Meal doesn't have to be entirely paleo either
TIA
This tasted amazing, especially the gravy! I used beef and chicken mince. I wanted steamed silverbeet, so I put leaves of it on the base of the varoma, underneath the meatballs (it also made the varoma easier to clean afterwards). I also put some beans in to steam with the sweet potato in the simmering basket. I think adding these 2 more veggies made the juice underneath even more tastier.
The amount of mash is very small so next time I will add more sweet potato & pumpkin.
these are lovely. I have just made the meat balls without the egg as I can not eat eggs and they stayed together really well.
For all the effort I expected it to taste a lot better. Lots of different steps... Not to mention the cleaning
Brilliant. 4yo ate them with all of the hidden veg. Absolutely yummy. Plenty of left overs to freeze too! Definitely making these again. Thanks.
Very tasty!! The meatballs were taking so long to steam I decided to put them in the oven. They turned out much better. Next time I will use a little less tapioca flour in the gravy.
