recipes for you!

Turkish Meatballs
-In a bowl, put 150g good quality beef or lamb mince with 2 teaspoons crushed garlic, 2 teaspoons ground cumin, 1 teaspoon hot paprika (you can use cayenne pepper or chili if preferred), 1/4 teaspoon cracked pepper, a dribble of worcestershire sauce and a generous squirt of tomato sauce. 
-Mix ingredients with your hands until thoroughly combined.
-Put half an inch of water in a frying pan and heat.
-Form the mince mixture into balls. A 1-inch diameter is preferable.
-When the water is bubbling, add the mince balls. Turn them every two minutes. The should take about 5 minutes to cook, depending on size. Cooking them in water extracts a lot of the fat while keeping the meat tender.
-Drain. They can be served hot or cold.

Tzatziki
-Finely grate 1 tablespoon of cucumber.
-Mix into 1/4 cup natural, unsweetened yoghurt.
-Serve with meatballs :)
