My friend Judy Montagu write a weekly cooking column in the local paper. This was in this Friday's issue, and I took the opportunity to make a wonderful family supper. Ingredients:
500 g minced cooked chicken or 500 g minced cooked turkey |
1 egg |
breadcrumbs |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
salt and pepper |
1 large onion, chopped |
oil |
1 (800 g) can crushed tomatoes |
1 (800 g) can water (use the empty can from the crushed tomatoes, duh) |
1/2 teaspoon basil or 1/2 teaspoon oregano or 1/2 teaspoon marjoram |
Directions:
1. In a medium sized pot, saute the onion in the oil, add the tomatoes and water, salt, pepper and herbs.
2. While this is cooking for a few minutes on medium heat, covered, place the chicken or turkey in a medium-sized bowl and mix with the egg, cinnamon, salt and pepper.
3. Add bread crumbs, combining thoroughly until the mixture is firm enough to form into balls.
4. Make ping-pong sized balls and drop them into the bubbling tomato mixture.
5. Cover and cook on medium heat for five minutes.
6. Serve over pasta, rice or couscous.
