1 packet
Gourmet Meatball Mince
(Contains Soy;)
1 block
fetta cheese
(Contains Milk;)
2 clove
garlic
1
carrot
2 tin
diced tomatoes
½ bunch
parsley
2 packet
risoni
(Contains Gluten, Wheat; May be present: Egg, Soy. )
1 bunch
mint
1 tbs
olive oil
2 tsp
sugar
To prepare the ingredients, cut the fetta cheese into 2 mm cubes. Peel and crush the garlic, and peel and grate the carrot. Finely chop the parsley and mint.
Roll the gourmet meatball mince into meatballs (we recommend 3 medium meatballs per person). Insert a square of fetta cheese into the middle of each meatball and squeeze to seal tightly. Crumble any remaining fetta cheese and set aside for garnish.
Heat the olive oil in a medium frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and cook, turning, for 5-6 minutes, or until browned. Add the garlic and carrot, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the diced tomatoes and bring to the boil. Reduce to a medium-low heat, add the sugar and parsley, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until reduced slightly. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Meanwhile, bring a medium saucepan of salted water to the boil. Add the risoni and cook for 8 minutes, or until ‘al dente’. Drain.
To serve, divide the risoni between bowls. Top with the meatballs and sauce, garnish with the mint and any remaining fetta cheese.
