O.k..... so you have made meatbalss before!!!! BUT have you tried Aussie meatballs, using Kraft Vegemite? Go on .................these might suprise you! You can use Beef or Lamb mince for this recipe..... I prefer the Beef as I dont eat lamb. Serve over spaghetti with a sprinkling of Parmesan Cheese. I use fresh breadcrumbs and wholegrain breadcrumbs could also be also be used. ....ohh and dont forget the garlic bread! Ingredients:
500 g lean ground beef |
1 cup breadcrumbs |
1 egg, lightly beaten |
4 spring onions, finely chopped |
1/2 teaspoon garlic, finely crushed |
1 carrot, peeled and grated |
1 tablespoon vegemite |
1 tablespoon light olive oil |
810 g crushed tomatoes |
1/4 cup tomato paste, salt reduced |
1/2 cup water |
1 teaspoon dried oregano |
1 teaspoon dried thyme |
1 teaspoon parsley, finely chopped |
black pepper |
Directions:
1. Mix together the beef, breadcrumbs, egg, spring onions, carrot, garlic and Vegemite until well combined. Roll mixture into 24 even sized balls.
2. Heat oil in a large frying pan, add meatballs and cook over a medium heat for 8-10 minutes until golden brown all over. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, water, oregano, thyme, parsley and pepper tp taste. Bring to the boil, reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until meatballs are cooked through.
3. Serve over spaghetti with the parmesan sprinkled on top.
