PRODUCT: Porta Mangiare Meatball Mixes
| Porta Mangiare meatball mixes are intended to recapture the flavors of Calabrese cooking as it was a century ago. They also make it easy to turn out tasty meatballs.
There are currently four varieties of meatball mix: Spicy Calabrese, Traditional Calabrese, Turkey Calabrese and Gluten-Free Traditional Calabrese, which uses potato flakes instead of breadcrumbs. The directions call for baking, but you can also pan-fry the meatballs, which is how we prepared them (who wants to turn the oven on in this heat?). The results were crisp and light. The boxes are not inexpensive ($5.99, $6.99 for gluten-free), given that you have to add a pound of ground meat, six ounces of grated cheese and two eggs to get 15 medium-size meatballs. But even if you won’t spring for it every day, the attractive canister packages make welcome gifts and stocking stuffers. Read the full review.
