Local mama business owners share their recipes of success...... for dinner!
I recently sat down and chatted with Olga, owner of Brooklyn Groove (102B Nassau Ave, https://www.facebook.com/BrooklynGroove). Once we got passed the beauty talk (her store has an amazing collection of natural and organic beauty products!) we talked about being busy mamas, and I asked her to be a part of our new series - DINNER: OWNED BY MAMA - where local mama business owners share their recipes of success for dinner. Like many mamas, Olga likes to cook once and get at least 2 dinners out of her efforts. She has shared with us her recipe for meatballs with buckwheat. Her son, Milos, and her husband, Peter, both enjoy this hearty meal. Olga likes making meatballs because they are easy for kids to eat, you can use whatever ground meat and vegetables you have on hand, and they store well. Depending on what she has in the fridge, she will add carrots, zucchini, scallions, mushrooms, cheese, etc.
On this particular batch of meatballs, Olga used:
- 1lb ground tukey
- 1lb ground beef
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, chopped
- 5 carrots, shredded
- 1 bunch of scallion, chopped
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup of flour for coating the meatballs
- olive oil
- salt and pepper
