Ingredients
- With Halloween upon us, we figured we should share one of our spookiest meals. And who doesn’t love a big bowl of bloody eyeballs with a side of worms? While this recipe looks rather frightening, it is a crowd pleaser recipe for both young and old ghouls.
- I developed this recipe for a client, a couple years ago, and we still enjoy serving it to unexpected little guests. It is a fun recipe that you can even get the kids involved with making. I took our favorite meatball recipe which is made with a combination of ground beef and pork. I added an olive to create the eery eyeball. The blood is a reduction of tomatoes, a little red wine (don’t worry the alcohol burns off and you will not have tipsy kids) to add depth to the color and some balsamic to add a bite of sweetness. The slippery worms are merely fresh cooked pasta that has been tossed with a little olive oil. Don’t forget to serve with a side of monster brains.
