You need to put that recipe on your blog!
Smile. Okay.
We are very blessed to get free, antibiotic-free meat from my dad, an avid deer hunter. Some recipes leave us with a strange "wild" aftertaste, but this one from Rachel Ray's magazine is a huge hit at our house.
I didn't have lemons or mint on hand, so I just omit them. Also, I use 1/8 tsp of cumin, because my hubby doesn't love it, and increase the cinnamon to 1/4 tsp. I know the ingredient combination sounds strange, but when you eat them, you really don't taste any one flavor - just a yummy meatball. And, the last time I made them, I used breadcrumbs instead of bread. Do you what you need to - that's my motto for any recipe!
Meatball tip: always pull out and thaw double the meat you'll need. Make half the meatballs for tonight and freeze the other half for an easy meal in the future.
Sounds so good! The last time we had deer meat, I didn't eat it, just couldn't get beyond the fact that it was once a sweet animal. Yesterday, Rob went to a gun show, so I asked him if he's planning on going deer hunting again this year. I will eat it, because I know it's so much better for you than the pork, beef or chicken in the stores!
