Creating a Champagne Life on a Beer Budget

Stroganoff Meatballs

Cheats “sort of” Strog.

We are in the process of running down our freezer in preparation for 3 weeks away.    (while we are away, I will unplug the freezer and let it completely defrost, then give it a good clean out in the new year)

I have been trying to mix the contents of the freezer around a little, so we don’t end up with sausages for 7 days straight 🙂    We had a fair bit of mince left in the freezer and I was looking something a bit “different” to do.

I came up with the idea of a Beef Stroganoff type dish with little meatballs – but not a “Swedish Meatball – Ikea” dish.

Obviously, by the look of this plate, it was a hit ?

So without further ado.. here is my recipe for
“Stoganoff Meatballs”

 

 

Yields2 Servings

 250 g Minced Beef
 1 tsp Mixed Herbs
 2 tsp Tomato Paste
 Salt, Pepper and Olive Oil
 1 Large Onion - finely diced
 Garlic Cloves ( as many as you like)
 Fettucine, Spaghetti or other pasta
 2 Large Mushrooms - sliced
 ¼ cup Worcestershire Sauce
 1 Beef Stock Cube
 ½ cup Sour Cream
 ¼ cup grated Parmesan Cheese ( plus some for garnish)
 Parsley for garnish

1

In a bowl combine Mince, Herbs, salt, pepper and ½ the tomato paste.

Mix very well until combined. (I use my hands)

Using a teaspoon, scoop out heaped spoonful’s and roll them into balls.
( I make mine about the size of a large marble)

Place the meatballs in the fridge to firm up.

2

In a non-stick pan heat a tablespoon of oil and sauté one large onion and a garlic clove (or 3 if you love garlic like we do) until just starting to caramelise. (You don’t want too much colour on them or your sauce could be a little bitter)

Remove the cooked onions and place aside.

3

In the same pan, add the pre-prepared meatballs and gently fry until cooked almost through. (Drain any excess oil as the mince renders it out.)

4

When the meatballs are cooked, remove them from the pan and put aside with the onions.
At this stage, put a pot of salted water on to boil and cook whatever pasta takes your fancy (we had some curly fettucine noodles in the pantry)

5

Still in the same pan, add 2 sliced mushrooms and sauté until softened and golden.

Turn the heat down to medium and add ¼ cup of Worcestershire sauce, one beef stock cube and the other 1/2 of the tomato paste.

Stir gently until the sauce comes to the boil.

Make sure you scrape all the lovely tasty bits off the bottom of the pan.

6

Add in ½ cup of sour cream and ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese. Stir to combine and melts.

7

Return the onions and meatballs to the sauce and simmer until everything is heated through.
Finally stir through the cooked pasta.

8

Serve onto plates, sprinkle over some chopped parsley and a few shavings of parmesan.
Enjoy!!

Don’t Dismiss 2020 as a “Wasted” Year.

As we wrap up 2020, I have seen much discussion given to the idea of “Thank goodness this year is OVER- bring on 2021” However, I prefer to ponder on the 2020 I have had and acknowledge the things I have been most grateful for. Firstly, is the tremendous relief that my immediate friends and…
