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

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.

Notes about this recipe

  • tges on March 14, 2026

    My family love this recipe, and it must be Greg's as I have never chanced upon it in my travels throughout Iran nor seen referenced anywhere or in recipe. It's full of nourishment and that is why I particularly love that my children love it. Meatballs are always a hit, and you can even have them help you make them. The flavours are lovely and fresh with the orange, but rich and filling with the chicken. I cannot say it is Persian really, but I do love it as a change from the other meatball recipes I make.
