Where to begin.....
These looked so good....I couldn't wait to fix them.
I loved the combination of all the flavors involved and it was tasty indeed. Unfortunately, I decided to fix this recipe last night and was unable to find Hungarian Paprika this morning, but bought a brand new bottle of paprika to fix the dish...umm, that makes 3 bottles I now have...
I made the recipe as directed to the "T",...except for the paprika.
The only problem (if you really want to call it a problem) was that the meatball mixture was so soft....1/3c. milk, and 1/3c. chicken broth seemed like an awful lot to me...and I was proved right but the lack of being able to keep them all together. Skewers?....LOL "fagetaboutit" There was no way those little suckers were going to stay on a skewer. So, I simply didn't put them on.
The only thing I might do different next time, would be to cut the red pepper flakes down just a tad. With kids being only 12 and 8, they were a little spicy. I liked it (and trust me, I'll remember later...LOL 'Nexium..here I come'), but for the kiddos, next time maybe only 3/4 tsp. and we'll go from there.
I loved this dish! and I will make it again!
I would say a 9 out of 10!
By the way, kids did like it...."go momma, go momma..it's your birthday(not really...LOL)"
