Directions

  1. For meatballs: In medium bowl, combine all meatball ingredients and mix well. Reserve under refrigeration for 1 hour or overnight.
  2. Remove meat mixture from refrigerator. Form into 1 oz. meatballs and set aside.
  3. Bring Romesco sauce to a simmer in a large saucepan, stirring frequently to prevent scorching. Add meatballs and poach in sauce for 25-35 minutes, or until meatballs are cooked through. Stir gently to prevent sauce from scorching and uneven cooking of meatballs.
  4. While meatballs are simmering, in sauté pan or cast-iron skillet, over medium-high heat, add ¼ cup oil. Add assorted mushrooms and sauté until slightly caramelized. Add 2 Tbsp. of tamari balsamic glaze. Season to taste with salt and pepper and stir to combine.
  5. Serve roasted mushrooms with meatballs and garnish with extra Romesco and tamari balsamic glaze.
  6. For glaze: In small saucepot, reduce balsamic vinegar by ½ until slightly thick and syrupy, about 10 minutes.
  7. Add soy sauce, garlic and ginger and reduce mixture until thick, about 10 minutes. Cool slightly before serving.

Bold Boost #32: Adding ½ cup of Holland House® Sherry Cooking Wine to any stew gives this cold-weather comfort fave a dry, nutty and slightly sweet flavor.
