    July 6, 2015

    These meat patties are so deceiving. They look so humble, they’re so easy to make, but then BAM! you taste them and WOW! The flavor combination is both sophisticated and comforting. I’m pretty sure once you try them you’ll want to keep making them. ***Tip*** Instead of baking soda and water, you can just use soda water, but I never have it at home, plus baking soda is so much cheaper.

    Tunisian Banatages

    July 10, 2014

    Banatages are moist, yummy Tunisian fried potato and meat balls. Like any other regional recipe, there are bound to be a hundred versions of it – this is the way my family likes to make it. The result (in my opinion) is a lighter, airier meat ball.
