Brandy glazed meatballs with roasted tomatoes and polenta

Today we are rediscovering ‘brandy’ and we’ll learn how it can be an ingredient to use while preparing traditional meals. It provides a delicate and elegant touch. Brandy is obtained from the distillation of wine; therefore, it is actually a more elaborate version of wine. In this recipe you’ll see how it goes much further than accompanying coffee since we’ll be glazing meatballs with this tasty beverage.
