1 Review of Spicy Speculaar Dutch Meatballs

I think I'll rename these as Spectacular Spicy Dutch Meatballs. I saved some speculaas cookies (made from Kiwidutch's recipe) to make these and used the same spice mix as in the cookie recipe. I could get sweet soya sauce easily here but I think you could substitute ordinary soya sauce mixed with treacle or molasses. For the hot sauce, I used sambal asli - don't know what the difference is but it's a take-your-head-off hot sauce. These meatballs have a very interesting flavour, sweet and spicy as well as hot. We served this with plain soya sauce for saltiness rather than more hot sauce. They were hot enough already. My daughter's verdict - hits all the flavour centres on your tongue! The only problem is that I don't think there will be much left over for lunch tomorrow!
