Cooking Tips

Don’t overwork the meat mixture when making meatballs; this will help keep them tender.
For extra flavor, add herbs like parsley or thyme to the meatball mixture.
Adjust the amount of mustard and turmeric to suit your taste preferences.
You can pan-fry the meatballs first for a crispy exterior before baking them.
If the sauce is too thick, add a little bit of water to thin it out.
