I’m glad I read the comments! I made a few adjustments and omg the flavourrrrrr!!!! I used dry parsley instead of fresh, and used a teaspoon instead of half for all herbs (still 1/2 for cayenne). I added 3/4 cup of breadcrumbs and an extra egg and only left the mixture in the fridge for 1 hour. Added 5mins each side in oven. Definitely will make again!

I did only half of the recipe because I thought there qoul be a lot left but it turned out that mushrooms shrink a lot! Just a suggestion, do the whole recipe😂

I used more breadcrumbs and curry powder as well. Also used dried parsley. Stayed together really well and tasted lovely, slightly like balls of stuffing.

I really loved the taste, the texture devolved into a mess resembling a stew as the meatballs wouldn’t stay together 😩
