Sicilian-Style Meatballs Recipe

Recipe By Spicesinmydna

Sicilian-style meatballs are a unique take on a classic italian meatball-they're studded with pine nuts and currants, bringing the north african influence into these flavorful, texture-packed meatballs. They're incredibly simple to make-from the meatballs themselves, to the no-fuss, garlicky tomato sauce. These meatballs are absolutely wonderful, especially when served with a crusty baguette, and a nice glass of red wine.
