Carrot Satay Meatballs Using Vegemite Recipes

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, mix well.
• Shape into walnut sized balls.
• Bake in a shallow, lined baking dish at 200C for 20 minutes or until cooked through.
• Serve with Satay Sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment and coat with cooking spray.
• Cook the frozen collards in a large bowl in the microwave according to package instructions. Let cool slightly.
• Add the beef, black beans, Italian seasoning, garlic, egg, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper to the collard greens. Mix with your hands until just combined. Mix with your hands until just combined. Scoop mounds of the meat mixture (about 2 tablespoons each) onto the prepared baking sheet. With damp hands, roll the mounds into balls and space them evenly apart on the baking sheet. Bake until completely cooked through, 12 to 14 minutes.
• Serve the meatballs with warm pasta and sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a medium pot, add the lentils and 2 quarts water. Set the pot over high heat and bring the water to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer the lentils until soft but not falling apart, about 25 minutes.
• Pour the cooked lentils through a colander and let cool. In a large frying pan set over a medium-high heat, saute the carrots, onions, celery, garlic, thyme and salt with the 1/4 cup olive oil until the vegetables soften, about 10 minutes.
• When the vegetables are tender and beginning to brown, stir in the tomato paste. Cook, stirring constantly, until the paste darkens, about 3 minutes. Stir in mushrooms and saute, stirring frequently, until completely cooked and browned on edges, about 15 minutes. Remove vegetables from frying pan and set aside to cool.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine cooled vegetables with lentils and all remaining ingredients, save for the 2 tablespoons olive oil and the pesto. Mix until well combined. Place the mixture in the refrigerator to cool completely, about 25 minutes.
• Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil into a large 9-by-12-inch baking dish, making sure to coat evenly. Roll the lentil mixture into round, golf-ball-size meatballs, making sure to pack the balls firmly. Place lentil balls into the oiled baking dish, making sure none of the meatballs touch one another.
• Roast the lentil balls until firm and cooked through, about 30 minutes. Allow the meatballs to cool for five minutes before removing them from the tray. Serve with pesto.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Spread the walnuts out on a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and roast until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Set the nuts aside to cool.
• Fill a large stockpot three-quarters of the way full with water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Next, fill a large bowl with ice water.
• Drop the spinach and basil into boiling water and give the leaves a stir. After 1 minute, remove the greens and plunge them into ice water. Discard the boiling water.
• Once cool, remove the greens from the ice bath and squeeze them dry. Give them a rough chop and transfer to a food processor.
• Add the salt, olive oil and Parmesan to the food processor and blend until a uniform, pesto-like consistency is reached.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and coat with cooking spray.
• Put the spinach in a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave according to the package instructions until cooked. Let cool slightly.
• Add the turkey, breadcrumbs, cumin, garlic, carrot, egg, 1 tablespoon of the dill, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Mix with your hands until just combined. Scoop mounds of the meat mixture (about 2 tablespoons each) onto the prepared baking sheet. With damp hands, roll the mounds into balls and space them evenly apart on the baking sheet. Bake until cooked through, 12 to 14 minutes.
• Meanwhile, stir together the yogurt, lemon juice and remaining dill in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
• Serve 3 meatballs in each pita half. Pack in shredded lettuce and sliced tomatoes. Drizzle with the yogurt sauce.

Steps:

• Heat a little oil in a pan over a medium heat and cook onion, garlic, curry and chili powder for 8-10 minutes or until onion is soft.
• Stir in remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce to simmering and continue stirring until slightly thickened.
• Serve with chicken or beef satays and rice. TIP: Peanuts have the ability to absorb liquid. This means that the sauce may require additional water if left to stand for a while.

Steps:

• Place shredded carrot and zucchini on a clean towel and wring out as much liquid as possible.
• Place strained carrot and zucchini in a bowl and add ground beef, ground pork, parmesan, onion, parsley, salt, pepper, garlic powder, breadcrumbs, and eggs. Mix until just combined.
• Grab about a ¼ cup (85 grams) of the mixture and roll into a ball.
• Pan-fry the meatballs in a large pan over medium-high heat until all sides are golden brown, about 10 minutes, then add the marinara sauce and simmer for 10-15 minutes. Or, can bake the meatballs on a parchment-lined baking sheet at 350˚F (180˚C) for 30-35 minutes, flipping after the first 15 minutes. Warm up marinara sauce and serve on the side.
• Serve the meatballs with cooked spaghetti and Parmesan cheese.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, mix well.
• Shape into walnut sized balls.
• Bake in a shallow, foil lined baking dish at 200C for 20 minutes or until cooked through.
• Serve hot (with dipping sauce if using).

Steps:

• Melt 3 tablespoons butter in heavy small skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté until light brown, about 7 minutes. Remove from heat; cool.
• Mix veal, breadcrumbs, eggs, 1/4 cup milk, salt, pepper, nutmeg and sautéed onion in large bowl until well blended. Form mixture into 24 meatballs (about 3 tablespoons of veal mixture in each).
• Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add meatballs to skillet and cook until brown on all side, turning often, about 8 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer meatballs to paper towels to drain.
• Cook carrots in pot of boiling salted water until almost tender, about 6 minutes. Drain; rinse under cold water. Drain thoroughly.
• Melt 4 tablespoons butter in heavy large Dutch oven over medium-low heat. Add flour; stir 3 minutes (do not brown). Gradually whisk in 2 cups milk and broth. Bring to simmer, whisking constantly. Simmer until mixture is thick and smooth, whisking often, about 8 minutes. Whisk in cream and mustard. Bring to simmer. Season with salt and pepper. Add meatballs and carrots. Cover; simmer until meatballs are just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Rewarm over medium heat). Stir in chopped dill; cover and let stand 1 minute. Transfer to bowl. Garnish with dill sprigs and serve.

Steps:

• Prepare all ingrediatns as listed above and mix well. I prefer using my stand-mixer with the open paddle-blade.
• Form into 1/8 cup meatballs and place in a baking pan, preferably a broiler pan, especially if using a higher-fat content meat. (I use an 1/8 cup measuring spoon and pack the meat into it on the side of the bowl, then use another spoon to pull it out and form the balls a little better on the pan--quicker than trying to do it by hand and less messy!).
• Bake at 350* for 15-20 minutes. (The cook book suggested frying them, and serving with a brown gravy, but baking is healthier, and the gravy only covers the great flavor!).

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Mix the pork, 50g of the breadcrumbs, caraway seeds, egg and half the cumin with 2 tsp salt and lots of pepper. Roll into about 30 meatballs and put into a large non-stick roasting tin. Put the carrots into another roasting tin. Split the oil between the two, and gently toss to coat. Roast for 30-40 mins, shaking the tins halfway (and swapping between shelves if you need to), until golden and cooked through.
• Meanwhile, fry the onion, ginger and remaining cumin in a drop more oil for a few mins in a large pan, stirring constantly. Stir in the passata, chopped tomatoes, sugar and some seasoning, then simmer for 15 mins.
• Divide the meatballs and carrots between baking dishes or tins and spoon over the tomato sauce. Mix the remaining breadcrumbs with the feta, parsley and some seasoning. Set aside any portions for freezing now, and sprinkle feta crumbs over any portions to be cooked immediately.
• To eat now, reduce the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and bake for 20 mins until crumbs are golden and everything is piping hot. Or follow the tips for freezing below, then defrost portions, finish assembling and bake at 180C/160C fan/gas 4 for 30-50 mins until everything is piping hot and bubbling - the cooking time will depend a bit on the portion size you are baking.
