Grilled Meatballs
Posted by in FoodIt was a hot day and I just couldn’t face turning on the oven to make meatballs for the spaghetti and meatballs I had planned. So I thought I would try grilling them. I made my meatballs (I use turkey, egg, breadcrumbs, worchestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, onion, garlic, ketchup and salt and pepper) and placed them on a grill pan (with holes in it) and stuck them on the grill. I let them cook most of the way through before turning them over (I was worried they would fall apart). I didn’t have any problems cooking them. I’m not sure how I feel about the taste though. They definitely had a smoky, grilled flavor which was very different. They were drier than meatballs made in the oven, however. It was a good solution for cooking on a hot day, but I don’t know if I would do it again. Have you ever tried this?

They sound good! I have not tried this yet. I think they would be good if you were to use them in a bento, or with BBQ sauce and not in spaghetti. I don’t use ground beef so the turkey sounds good to me too.
Building on this idea–which is so cool–wouldn’t satay meatballs be good? You could put Thai seasoning in them and then have a spicy peanut dipping sauce.
