Would someone please check the recipe for Ricotta Meatballs, they sound wonderful but I think the amount of meat may be incorrect,how much onion????

I contacted the author of this recipe through her Food52 profile page. Let's see what she says.

When you find a discrepancy from a reader-provided recipe here at Food52 or anywhere else, the best thing to do is to first search the Internet to see if the recipe is posted elsewhere.

In this case, it is posted to the author zahlicious's own website. Here's what Google returned when I punched in "ricotta meatballs zahlicious.com."

One yellow onion is the amount called for the meatballs themselves.

Poor copy editing/proofing is a permanent problem with the Internet, especially for things like recipes. You should keep this in the back of your mind when you are browsing the Web.

Note that you always have the option of contacting the author of the original recipe. After all, they are the authority of the recipe in question.

Good luck.

Hi Susan, no it say's 2 cups. I think it's just a mistake.

I looked at the recipe and think it's possible it could be a typo. My guess is that it is 2 lbs. I could be wrong but when I make meatballs I always use 2 lbs of meat. I think it sounds great also. You can message the author of the recipe as Susan suggests or just try 2 lbs and see how it turns out.

It calls for two onions. It's listed in the ingredients. Why do you think the meat amount is wrong? I saw your two comments on the recipe. We are responsible for editing our own recipes.
