A friend of mine has recently toured the USA and specifically New York where he visited “The Meatball Shop”, a restaurant exclusively serving meatballs with sauces and side dishes. I loved the idea and realized that this could easily be translated into our South African kitchens with some lovely meatballs from Karusaf which has been premixed and flavored for your convenience. I just popped the meatballs into a hot oven of 180 degrees Celsius for 15 minutes and roasted some baguette for serving.
