Meatballs and polenta in tomato sauce eaten with slices of pineapple. I'm not a fan of combining fruits with hot dishes but I just thought I'd try it since I had both on hand. Not a bad combo, not great though. The sour, crisp and juiciness of the pineapple sort of distracted from the meatball/polenta's soft texture and savoriness, but the sweetness complemented it well. Maybe some kind of dessert like alfajores or baklava would mix better with the meatballs/polenta. Still, a worthy pairing.
Nutrition:
- beef meatballs, polenta, tomato sauce = 500 Calories, 500mg Sodium, 500mg Potassium, 5g fiber
- 5 pineapple slices = 210 Calories, 40g sugar, 6g fiber, 335% of daily Vitamin C
Pretty healthy overall with 3 day's worth of Vitamin C, half a day's worth of fiber, and got the Sodium Potassium pumpin'
