You should be fine if you just mince them up. These held together great!

Thanks for that Roni :) one more question please. If I am using fresh onions instead of the dried stuff. Should i chop the onion finely or just grate the whole thing? I don’t want my meatballs to fall apart :(

Meemz – I’ve never used bulgur but you could totally get away with 1/2-3/4 of a cup of oatmeal.

As for the time, I’ve simmered mine in sauce for more then 6 hours with no major issues.

Hope that helps!

Hi Roni,
Great pics :) I hope your little one feels better soon. I was wondering, if I were to use oatmeal or bulgur instead of the breadcrumbs, how much would I need? Will it be the same amount or will I need to use less or more? Also, would it significantly change the taste? And if I were to cook the meat for 6 hours+, should I put the heat on the lowest temperature possible?

Thanks,

This is too funny! I just made meatballs for dinner than noticed my Greenlitebites email update 3 hours later. I made mine South Beach Style with no bread crumbs. They had a Greek flavor with feta, garlic, onions, oregano and some red wine vinegar – to name a few. However, I’m wishing I’d made them early and let them simmer in your sauce. Looks delicious.

I made meatballs this morning. I put bulger in them this time rather than oatmeal or bread crumbs. I figured they would “beef” them up a bit. They turned out great, and not dry at all (which i was a bit worried about).

This sounds great! I’ll have to give it a try! My Mom (who is Sicilian) always puts wine in her meatballs, whichs adds a lot of flavor and probably not many points. Meatballs are my 4 year old’s favorite! :-)
