I notice that my recipe section has been sadly lacking lately, so I thought I might post some of the recipes I make up along the way - which might also help me when I try to make them again!
So here's what we had for dinner last night:
Mixed together 1 finely chopped red onion, 3 cloves garlic finely chopped, 250g lean minced beef, 1 egg, about 1/3 C flour, salt, pepper, 8 finely chopped prunes, generous teaspoon each of dried coriander, cumin and cinnamon (all ingredients entered in the order I remember adding them into the bowl!). Formed together in balls and lightly fried on each side.
Review: delicious! However, next time I'd cook the red onion first because it was a little on the crunchy side. The cinnamon and prunes were a good combo - but it was actually hard to pick once they were cooked what it was giving them the sweetness. I might reduce the prunes to about 6 next time... We had them with corn on the cob and a big green salad. I reckon they'd also be good in a tomato-based sauce and on an orange couscous...yum!
