(It took the two of us about 45 minutes to an hour to prep the recipe. Maybe that was supposed to be the “Make ahead” part!) </p><p>In any case, it was absolutely delicious, and now we also know what celery root (AKA celeriac) is. It has a completely unique and interesting flavor (a little bit tangy). We also learned how to make fresh breadcrumbs, which were briliant because they perfectly soaked up the sauce from the chicken stock and lemon juice, making the meatballs juicy and flavorful. </p> <div class="not-first-item graphic-container wide center ImageElement"> <div class="graphic"> <div class="figure-content"> <!-- sandvox.ImageElement --><img src="http://cookingadventures.eklund.io/_Media/img_0944_med.jpeg" alt="IMG 0944.jpeg" width="465" height="348" /> <!-- /sandvox.ImageElement --></div> </div> </div><p>We served it over couscous with a simple green salad with red peppers on the side.  </p> <div class="not-first-item graphic-container wide center ImageElement"> <div class="graphic"> <div class="figure-content"> <!-- sandvox.ImageElement --><img src="http://cookingadventures.eklund.io/_Media/img_0946_med.jpeg" alt="IMG 0946.jpeg" width="465" height="620" /> <!-- /sandvox.ImageElement --></div> </div> </div><p>For dessert, Wendy brought a yummy apple cake that she baked the day before. Rebekah may or may not have saved some to eat for breakfast the nexzt morning. </p> </div> Sun, 19 Jan 2020 17:39:26 -0500 http://cookingadventures.eklund.io/2020/beef-meatballs-with-lemon.html
