Cup of Yum
For the meal:
- Add olive oil to pan or dutch oven, and heat on medium high until shimmery.
- Add meatballs and brown on all sides, about 3-5 minutes per side (1-2 minutes if cooking pre-cooked/frozen meatballs).
- Add stock to pan, and take care to scrape up any browned bits from the meatballs.
- Keep cooking meatballs until done inside, turning occasionally to prevent sticking, until size is reduced and balls are firm to the touch - about 8 minutes.
- Add butter to pan with garlic.
- Let garlic slightly brown and soften, until fragrant.
- Stir in parmesan cheese and serve over pasta, rice, vegetables, or on their own!
