Turkish Beef Meatballs

I have featured this recipe before but couldn't resist sharing again, it turned out so well the other day. I got the spice mix in Turkey but the key ingredients are - coriander, black pepper, cloves, bay leaves and wild thyme. I love picking up ingredients on our travels and learning new dishes, I even got a cookbook when in Turkey :-)

Enjoy, I love these :-)

Ingredients:

• one pack of lean beef mince 
• one small onion chopped
• 1/2 a bunch of parsley chopped
• one egg
• 2 slices of bread crumbled
• 2 tablespoons of meatball spice
• a little salt
• 4 cloves of garlic
• one can of chopped tomatoes

Method:

1. mix all of the ingredients together except the can of tomatoes
2. heat some olive oil in a thick bottomed pan then add the meatballs and slowly cook for 10 minutes stirring all the time to brown evenly
3. then add the tomatoes and reduce down to a simmer for 20-30 minutes

Finally the wonderful Kristy of My Little Space gave me the lovely blog award I love Kristy she is a great cook, especially bread, great Mum and fun member of the blogging community
