Meatballs with Tomato Sauce
When I have leftover cooked meat from a roast or a stew, or even leftover steak, I often chop it and use it to make stuffing, chili or meatballs like theseboulettes("small balls")—a staple in every French housewife's cooking repertoire. You can serve thebouletteson their own with a salad, or brush them with barbecue sauce and serve with mashed potatoes. Here, they're topped with a quick-cooking tomato sauce dotted with tangy green olives.More Jacques Pépin Recipes
