This made up into really moist and quite tasty meatballs. The roasted garlic really shone through. I made mine golf ball size and got 8 out of a quarter mixture. I personally think the cayenne was an off flavour in these and would try either fennel seeds or nutmeg for preference. I think the meatballs would then be good served with a creamy gravy. I used a mix of beef and pork.
