Red Gravy and Meatballs-Pics

I made Vita Greco's Red Gravy with meatballs over the weekend. Pics aren't pretty, but here they are for those who like pics. It's a good recipe. I made more meatballs than called for because there's a lot of sauce in this one. I put more ground meat than called for. Used a lot of pork necks, but no lamb shank. Makes more than it says in the recipe. Here's a link to the recipe.

There's a similar recipe in the latest issue of Cuisine at Home. It calls for spareribs rather than pork necks. I've used those as well.

Meatball mixture.

The browned meats. This isn't pretty, but it smelled good and tasted better.
