I love to make it and I love to eat it!

Porcupine Meatballs

Ingredients

Meatballs

500g good quality mince

1/2 cup fresh breadcrumbs

1/2 cup raw rice

1 large onion - finely chopped

1 clove garlic - finely chopped

1 egg

1 tbsp mixed herbs

1 tbsp tomato sauce

Sauce

Worcestshire Sauce

Salt & Pepper

400g can tomato soup

1/2 can water

Method

1. Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees celcius

2. Combine all meatball ingredients, mix well and shape into balls

3. Place into a casserole dish

4. Cover with soup and water

5. Add a few good shakes of worcestshire sauce

6. Cover and simmer until rice is tender (about 45 mins)

I like to take the lid off the dish for the last ten minutes to add a brown touch to the meatballs. Feel free to sprinkle with cheese at this stage too.

My Savoury Muffins

A few weeks ago I posted this pic of the yummy 2 point muffins that I made and have continued to make for the last couple of weekends.  Some of you asked for the recipe and I apologise for being slack, but I proise to make up for it now with it here:

Dry Ingredients:

2 cups of flour

110g 97% fat free sundried tomatoes

250g bacon bits (real ones, not the freeze dried crap)

1 zucchini - grated

120g feta

1 medium onion - diced

Wet Ingredients:

3/4c low fat milk

1 egg

1/4c fruit chutney or 3/4 crushed pineapple

Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees celcius.

Sift flour into large bowl and add all dry ingredients - mix well.

In a small bowl or jug combine wet ingredients.

Create a well in dry ingredients and slowly add wet mixture while stirring, make sure wet mixture picks up all dry ingredients.

Spoon into a greased muffin tray and bake for approx. 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Bon appetit!
