I tried these tonight and absolutely loved the flavors! I used a gourmet organic sauce in a jar rather than making my own this time. I also used rainbow chard for the greens, which went really well with the sauce and the meat.

I did run into a big problem with the meatballs though. I poured the oil into the pan, turned it to medium-high heat, and added the meatballs once the oil appeared to be really hot. The meatballs stuck instantly. Following the recipe, I attempted to turn them after 3-4 minutes. Instead, the bottoms of the meatballs stuck to the pan, causing the meatballs to fall apart. I ended up with a meat sauce over greens, rather than meatballs. Still tasty, but not what I wanted. I've never attempted meatballs in my stainless pans before. Does anyone have any advice or know what I did wrong?
