Golabkiballs

All the goodness of golabki, in ball form.

Came out pretty well! Tossed in an egg and some breadcrumbs with the meat-onion-rice mixture that I already had, though in retrospect they probably would have been okay without the breadcrumbs. As it was they (the meatballs, that is) were nice and tender, with only a minor propensity for falling apart, hardly at all, actually, even after considerable forkage.

Made some quick sauce, tomatoes, onion, marjoram. Sauteed a sliced onion, threw in the brussels sprouts. Could have used a tad bit of garlic here but I had already washed the cutting board. >.> Sauce (pureed with my handy dandy serendipitously-found-in-the-basement immersion blender) goes in, then the browned meatballs, then simmering.

I've had better brussels sprouts, taste-wise (I think it had to do with the actual quality, or lack thereof, of the sprouts themselves) but the little meatballs of golabki meat were like awesome little bites of childhood.

Tomorrow I'ma use up all them chicken fat, y'all. Torn between doing fried rice and potatoes. Think I'll do chicken thighs, maybe some pan sauce of some sort, and roast the sad solitary potato in some chicken faaaaaaaat.

lunch maybe throw together some roasted red pepper and tomato soup? Mmm.
