There’s a desire for lightness in the air … so even at the table you can’t be outdone!
Too bad: I adore meatballs and just the idea of giving them up makes me feel so sad!
If you find yourself trapped in the same loop don’t despair because I have found the solution: these delicious zucchini and mint meatballs made of chickpeas or Greek feta to your choice.
Just pan-fried they will give you the satisfaction of a delicious bite, but with a super light heart 😉
That’s a good compromise!
