Teriyaki Meatballs
When I was 15, my mum went back to school and fulfilled her dream of becoming a chef. And that is what she has done ever since. Her food is not pretentious, it is healthy and hearty and simple and wonderful. This one is one of her recipes that she cooks for me every time I go back home to Iceland. I love it.This one serves two.
