Tips For Making Polish Meatballs In Dill Sauce

Meatballs Should Be The Size Of Walnuts.

Use White Meat.

Polish meatballs in dill sauce should be made from the light meat, for example:

• chicken
• turkey (see my turkey with dill sauce recipe)

Pork or beef is not recommended for this recipe. If you want to use red meat, check out my Polish meatballs with mushroom gravy recipe.

Add Fresh Or Dried Dill.

Fresh dill will definitely make the dish taste better, however, dried dill will work just fine. You can even use frozen dill if you happen to have it in the fridge.
