Meatballs!

Another fine dinner suggested and started by Kerri. When I got home from a gruelling session of drinking free booze and buying discounted clothing, all I needed to do (again) was get my hands all gooey making meatballs out of a “wild beef” mince, onion, breadcrumbs and herb mixture. These meatballs went into a deliciously garlicky tomato sauce and cooked for twenty minutes. We served them on top of a pile of pasta (the same unnamed thin-tagliatelle style as before). They were really good, definitely one for the “cook again soon” pile.

    Just so I remember when we do “cook again”:

    Meatballs:

    500g minced beef (wild, if possible)
    Oregano
    Parsley
    Garlic (one fat one)
    Small onion
    Breadcrumbs
    S&P

    Tomato sauce:

    OO
    Garlic (three fat ones)
    Chilli
    Tinned tomatoes
    Vegetable stock

    *Cook tomato sauce for at least an hour
    *Don’t be shy with the salt for the meatballs
    *Fry the meatballs off before poaching them in the tomato sauce?
    *Smaller meatballs next time
    *Add some nutmeg to the meatballs?
    *Tomato sauce could be varied with onion, carrot and celery

    Really nice recipe. Usually I don’t use garlic and onions in the meatball mixture, but I want to try. I would like to share with you the recipe I’ve published about Italian Meatballs (http://makeititalian.tumblr.com/post/12171616024/recipe-italian-meatballs), so you can try it and let me know what do you think about it.
