Bi-Rite Market's Eat Good Food: A Grocer's Guide to Shopping, Cooking & Creating Community Through Food

By Sam Mogannam, Dabney Gough

I have made this with several different herbs/ greens - sorrel, arugula, cilantro - and it always comes out great. I sometimes add red pepper flakes and/or extra lemon juice.

I was disappointed in this one - the flavors are nice (cardamom and orange) but it is way too sweet (even tho I skimped on the sugar). This cooks on stove top first then gets transferred to the oven. Mine was a bit overcooked at the 40 minute mark (the recommended time). This recipe makes claims of being less fussy than traditional stove top versions but I disagree - cooking on the stove top, tempering the eggs, cooking in the oven with a water bath and you still need to stir as it cooks. Sorry Bi-Rite, I love you, but this is a miss.

These meatballs were so moist and delicious. Simple flavors, but very satisfying. I served with sauteed greens and cannellini beans.
