Allergy-Free Recipe - Meatballs with Bean & Tomato Sauce

Method :

  1. Make the meatballs by blending half the onion, half the red pepper, the oregano, the paprika and 350g / 12oz of the kidney beans in a blender or food processor for a few seconds. Add the beef with some seasoning and blend until well mixed. Turn the mixture onto a lightly floured board and form into small balls.

  2. Heat the wok, then add 2 tablespoons of the oil and, when hot, stir-fry the meatballs gently until well browned on all sides. Remove with a slotted spoon and keep warm.

  3. Wipe the wok clean, then add the remaining oil and cook the remaining onion and pepper and the garlic for 3-4 minutes, until soft. Add the tomatoes, seasoning to taste and remaining kidney beans.

  4. Return the meatballs to the wok, stir them into the sauce, then cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with the chopped coriander and serve immediately with the freshly cooked rice.
