Butter Chicken Meatballs with Cucumber Raita

January 23, 2020 No Comments

There are many meatballs on this blog. Some lamb, some pork and some with no meat at all. Strangely, the blog is devoid of the more traditional beef variety. I’m not sure why that is but I do intend to address the oversight at some point. But yes, Rhubarb & Cod is drowning in meatballs and that may seem like an odd fixation for a blog to have. But I think it makes a strange kind of sense. The meatball, in its most basic form, is devoid of personality. The starting protein of any kind of meatball is relatively bland. And onto that bland, unmolded clay, you can impart just about any flavor your restless, hungry brain can conjure. Case in point – these Butter Chicken Meatballs.

Relationships, they say, are all about compromise. You watch a movie you don’t particularly want to see, they go to a restaurant that wasn’t their first choice. There’s give, there’s take and then there are the lines you don’t cross, favors you don’t ask, and preferences you don’t question. While I do believe that a loving partnership should occasionally coax you and your partner out of your respective comfort zones, there are certain things that should remain comfortable. Bae’s dislike of seafood is one of those things. He just doesn’t like it and no amount of coaxing will change that. In fact, coaxing is more likely to annoy him and strengthen his resolve. Needless to say, I made today’s Honey Miso Salmon with Tahini Soba Salad for one.

Okay, I know, another vegetarian recipe. Honestly, I swear there’s no agenda behind this meat-free spree. These last three recipes have been an accurate representation of how I’ve been eating lately and how I like to eat in the aftermath of the holiday season. After a parade of mashed potatoes and roast beasts of all sorts, I tend to retreat into a more legume, bean, and vegetable-heavy way of life. It’s the return to sanity my body seems to crave. Although this need for sanity does nothing to allay my Toblerone cravings…but that’s beside the point. The point is this Blistered Poblano White Bean Soup is nothing more than business as usual as far as January is concerned.

Depending on who you are, January might compel you to skip the booze, bid adieu to meat, or clip a few extra coupons.
