Is it improper to like these meatballs greater than conventional hen piccata??? It’s really easy for traditional piccata to finish up with a dry, overcooked hen breast. Utilizing floor hen takes this dish to an entire new degree. Why has nobody considered this earlier than? The feel is tender and moist—even earlier than including the sauce.
Anxious to check out the brand new meat grinder attachment for my stand mixer, I used hen thighs to make my very own floor hen. I might’ve added some chicken to the combination however didn’t have any readily available. Subsequent time, I’ll go for extra of a 60/40 combine, because the mix was a bit too moist. And since I completely hate cleansing the stovetop, I browned the meatballs in a Dutch oven—no errant splatters to fret about.
The outcomes have been wonderful! I received’t be going again to conventional piccata anytime quickly. Even Mr. I Don’t Eat Pickles, Olives, or Something Like That mentioned, “I actually love the style of these capers! Why don’t we have now them extra typically?” It was a full-on culinary epiphany for him.
I served the meatballs with legume rice, selfmade bread, and salad—oh, and the remainder of the Sauvignon Blanc I used within the sauce. The leftovers have been simply pretty much as good served one other evening with angel hair pasta. I’ll undoubtedly be making these once more.
