I know nothing beats the taste of beef but can I replace this with minced pork?? This is too yummy looking
I do make my own meatballs. BUt I never put in white wine. Does the wine really gives a better taste to the meatballs?
Looks amazing!
Shionge: A good minced pork would serve just as well, I also like a little sage in mine as well :)
Cutie: Its not essential but does throw a small twist in the recipe - gets the guests guessing and helps combine a nice mixture of flavours.
Meg: Thanks for passing by the blog, glad you enjoyed the recipe!
