  • Add your favorite vegetables to the skillet to create a complete meal. Good options include broccoli, carrots, or peas.
  • Season the meatballs generously with herbs and spices for maximum flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet when browning the meatballs. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.

  • Serve the meatballs and rice with a sprinkling of fresh parsley or chives.
