Hey Marina I would like to thank you so much for adding this great dish. I am a Spanish student in my sophmore year and i find all your podcats very interesting especially this one. My teacher is also a very big fan or yours and she has decided to offer extra credit if we prepare one of the cuisines you have offered. I have made several of them and enjoyed them all. I would just like to say thanks for offering so many great things!!

Hi Colin,

I’m really sorry to hear that the albondigas didn’t turn out all right.
I really don’t know why they look grey, they usually have a brownish colour. Also they shouldn’t have to much oil, I think the problem might have been in the sauce, the oil should be completely blended with the flour and the water to make a pretty consistent sauce, which in my opinion is the best bit of this dish. If you have any question regarding this recipe I’ll be very happy to help.

Saludos.

I do not know where I went wrong with this recipe but for me it did not hit the spot. Very unappetising to look at – grey with too much olive oil, the sauce was also quite bland. Thank goodness for the mash, I can’t think what other veg would have gone with it.
I guess I shall have to wait until I can try the real thing.

It’s true!!! How did we possible forget the Swedish meatballs!!!

I’ve had them in Ikea a couple of times in the past… I like the sweet sauce that comes with it.

Angeta, let us know about the Setas .

Hello!
For christmas I recieved an ipod and since then I’ve discovered the possibilities of learning with the ipod through podcasts. I love it! And I love cooking and I love Spain. But, this episode that explains how to make albóndigas made me feel a bit irritated, and I felt my pride in being swedish being stamped on.

Remember you said meatballs made you think about America (??), british school lunches and Germany??? Hmm… Well, as being british it might be curious to know that you eat 56 million meatballs at IKEA! So, you must love Swedish meatballs. Popular all over the world.

But the spanish albóndigas sounds good too, I’ll try that some day. But tomorrow I’ll make some setas.

I’m looking forward to the coming episodes.
