The real problem was that I hated onions and tomatoes. Nothing out of the ordinary as a kid. I would pick at my pasta sauce, trying desperately to separate the onions from the tomatoes. I didn't find out til' recently that my mom actually pureed the onions.... sneaky.
I guess my taste buds have grown up, because now I love tomatoes, onions, and pretty much any combination of the two.
This next week I'm headed home, and leaving the husband to fend for himself. Well, not completely. I've decided to load the freezer, and made some meatballs that can easily be defrosted. Best of all is that they are HOMEMADE!
Ingredients:
1 lb lean ground beef
1 small onion, finely diced
2 tbsp parsley, finely chopped
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup parmesean
1/4 cup panko ( japanese breadcrumbs)
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp basil
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
2 tbsp of milk
dash of nutmeg
salt and pepper
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Mix all ingredients together. Form golf sized balls. Place on cookie sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Bake for 35 minutes until done.
