    Definitely my favourite recipe from this book so far. These meatballs were very tasty indeed, unusual and delicious. The only thing I'd say is that they're very very rich (what with the fatty pork, the egg yolks, the oil, the coconut cream) so it's tricky to think of a side that is both light but also goes with the sauce - maybe cauliflower rice, broccoli or green beans? I served with the onion millet recipe from the same book, and it was all too heavy.
