In reply to Laura. Hello Laura! I'm so happy that you found me and that the recipe was close to your grandmother's! That's marvellous. I thought it was just a recipe from that restaurant in Molise but maybe it's closer to how they make meatballs in the area. It'll be worth investigating the next time I get to the region. Thank you for writing. You made my day!

I just made these. I was trying to replicate my grandmother’s meatballs which I haven’t tasted in over 20 years. The recipe was lost in the family. My grandfather was from Molise (Campobasso to be exact). He migrated from Molise to Montreal, Canada in the 1920’s met my grandmother and taught her this recipe for Molisan meatballs. These meatballs were a regular part of my childhood and most uncommon among the recipes of other Italian families from other parts of Italy.
Now I am a professional chef living and working in Toronto. My research brought me to your recipe. I can’t believe how similar these are compared to what I remember! You can bet I’ll be sharing this recipe with all the foodies in my family back in Montreal who miss Nonna Annie’s famous meatballs. Thank you Tina!
