This recipe will be ready in 25 minutes!!!

[puddicat]

Do you like prawns this recipe will take 10 minutes!!!!

[mccfluff]

pretty personal taste on the old meatballs i use beef mince and mix with finely chopped (and cooked) onion some garlic herbs, mustard breadcrumbs and a beaten egg. form into meatballs and leave to firm in the fridge for half hour or so, then cook them - you'll need to do this in batches and put to one side. slice an onion into rings and sweat off in butter add a lttle flour and let that cook into the butter then add a stock cube and water and let that cook for a while till you gravy is ready, then add the meatballs into the gravy and i leave it to cook away for 10/15 mins till the gravy is nice and thick. sorry i've haven't got any measurement i tend to do everything by 'eye' and wing it!

[roosi]

Sorry, puddicat - yes love prawns!!!!
