Boles de Picolat- Catalan meatballs

This was my favorite meal when I was in boarding school at Riversaltes,France. It was served every thursday, it was my ultimate comfort food. I adapted my recipe from here.
Mine has more tomato sauce but it was my way to hide the mushrooms from my little assistant.
