Author Notes
Small plates are great for tapas-style entertaining, appetizers, or a lively midweek meal. A menu of savory bites usually includes at least one meat option, and these pork meatballs with basil and brioche pack incredible flavor. While these meatballs are delicious on their own, they also can be served with a mustard cream or curry sauce. —Thirsty Radish
