Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Accompaniments: Baked sliced onions

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Delicious meatball. Does fall apart a bit. I browned on stove, then baked in oven to finish.

    always looking for the perfect meatball...these were pretty close. I used 1 lb. beef and 1/2 lb pork and 1/2 lb lamb. Used day old french bread. Love idea of cooking small amount to taste for flavoring...did fall apart a little while cooking in sauce. Oh well. I baked.
