Meatballs

[falcon]

Does anyone have any lovely recipes for meatballs?

TIA

this one is very good. Ignore the lasagne business, just do the meatballs and cook them in the tomato sauce.

Here's mine:

Ingredients

650g minced meat (beef or half/half beef and pork)
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 tsp mixed dried herbs
1 tbsp tomato puree
3 - 6 tbsp very fine dried breadcrumbs
1 egg, beaten
2 tbsp soy sauce
freshly ground black pepper

Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C
Mix all the ingredients together, except the breadcrumbs.
Add these a tablespoon at a time, until you have a mixture which is sticky but not too wet.
Line a baking tray with non-stick foil.
Using your hands, form the mixture into about 25 - 30 firm meatballs, each roughly the size of a ping-pong ball (or large walnut or whatever)
Place the meatballs on the tray and bake for 20mins until nicely browned.
