These meatballs are a great way to use up leftover rice. I always have some leftover rice in the fridge, and these meatballs are a great way to use it up.

I didn't have any fresh parsley, so I used dried parsley instead. The meatballs still turned out great, but I think they would have been even better with fresh parsley.

I accidentally used too much lemon juice in the sauce, and it was a bit too tart for my taste. I would recommend using less lemon juice next time.

I had some trouble finding ground pork, so I used ground beef instead. The meatballs still turned out great, but they didn't have quite the same flavor as the pork meatballs.

These meatballs were a bit too dry for my taste, but the sauce was delicious. I would try them again with a different type of meat.
