Made an oversized amount of meatballs. But you can cook them and easily freeze them after. We tripled this recipe

sometimes we add the rind of the parmesan cheese

Made this with Caro a while back and then made it again! It's almost more a ragout then a chili. We cut up to many sweet potatoes so we decided to make some sweet potato fries. Since Samir has a love for coconuts we decided to put some coconut oil, salt and then basil near the end. Delicious!
