The meatball dumplings in the stoup taste okay without the 2 tablespoons of bread crumbs, but being a Sicilian girl, I simply cannot make a meatball with no bread crumbs. This is as close as I can force myself. It’s only 2 tablespoons. Negligible carbs, but all the difference mentally and the consistency is really better for it.
