Makes around 22 meatballs Use more of the Adobo sauce for a bit more spice. Use an extra Chilli for more spice Make the meatballs and freeze them Meatballs are very tasty and the sauce is as well, except it does feel very oily especially the sauce. maybe cook the meatballs in the oven instead of frying them and try to use less oil?
