Ran 7 miles on the canal with John today. We took it easy for the first 3.5 and picked it up for the return trip. John is training for Boston and I hope to make the trip with him possibly to pace him the final 15 miles.
When I go for a long run, it usually means I want to cook later in the day if I have time. At first I was thinking about osso buco which I love but the market didn't have veal shanks so my fall back was a dish I came upon in one of my recipe books. It was roasted garlic meatballs served over angel hair pasta. It looked like a relatively quick recipe and had lots of flavor.
I had to roast 2 bulbs of garlic in some chicken broth for 90 minutes then remove from the skin. I pureed the garlic and added it to equal parts of ground beef and park. Added some bread crumbs, egg, shallots and thyme and formed the meatballs.
I fried the meatballs and then put them in the garlic infused chicken stock while the pasta was cooking and then combined. I know it was good because my son Micheal liked them.
There was lots of flavor in those meatballs. Not moms or Ro's traditional meatballs but really good. I am adding that recipe to my rotation.
