Saffron and Honey

Eat Chic

August 25, 2011

Polpette with onion marmalade

20110825-085421.jpg

(and zucchini)

I turned this week’s FFwD hamburger recipe into little meatballs (or polpette, which I guess made this whole thing a lot more Italian than French!). Quite easily done.

The onion marmalade – so delicious – cooked down with some tomatoes, zucchini – the pickles went in there too – for a summery version of a caponata.

Happy Italian Friday, I guess! And everyone stay safe out there amid the hurricane.

    What a fantastic idea to make these as meatballs! I will admit that I found the recipe more seasoned that I’m used to, but I’m thinking they would sound perfect for meatballs.

      Thanks! They were very seasoned as meatballs – not in a bad way per se but just more seasoned than I would normally make them πŸ™‚

    That looks wonderful! The meatballs are so cute and your take on the onion marmalade as a base for pasta sauce is brilliant.

    I love your interpretation of the recipe. Meatballs make perfect sense, and I can see them going either the Italian route or even the Swedish treatment with a sweet sauce. Thanks for the inspiration!

    love your version! I’m a big fan of meatballs – we might try a version of this for a party, sans pasta and zucchini.
