Family Size Serving

INGREDIENTS:

MEATBALL:

2 lbs. Ground Beef

2 lbs. Ground Pork

1 lb. of Ground Chicken or Turkey

4 tbsps. Worchestershire Sauce

4 tbsps. Low Sodium Soy Sauce

1 medium sized onion, finely chopped

4 cloves of garlic, finely chopped

2 Whole eggs, beaten

2 tbsps. tomato paste

3 tbsps. olive oil

1/2 cup of seasoned or unseasoned Italian Breadcrumbs

a pinch of salt and pepper

2 tbsps of chopped fresh parsley

2 tbsps. paprika

cornstarch for dredging

FOR THE STEW:

1/2 lb of fresh green peas

1 cup of sliced mushrooms, sliced (button or shitake)

4 large pieces of carrots, cut into cubes or wedges

FOR THE GRAVY:

This is a 5 calorie Beef Gravy, got this recipe from Sparkpeople user: Angietunie

3 cubes of beef bouillon, crushed

1 1/8 cups of cold water

1 1/2 tbsp. of cornstarch

pinch of thyme (dried)

pinch of white pepper

PROCEDURES:

1)Preheat oven for 375 degrees. Mix all ingredients well except for the stew and the gravy. Make a form of  a ball like a size of a golf ball and dredge it in seasoned cornstarch (mixed with a little bit of salt and pepper), and one at time slowly put the meatballs in a well oiled, hot pan.  Fry the meatballs on all sides till golden brown, transfer all the meatballs unto a large baking tray and place it in the over for roughly 15-20 minutes. So, while that’s in the oven…

2) You can start making the gravy:

By dissolving the cornstarch and crushed bouillon cubes in cold water.  Add spices. Cook, stirring constantly till the lumps are out, until boiling and smooth. Set aside.

3) On a hot pan with olive oil and butter, saute sliced mushrooms (any kind of mushrooms but I prefer button or shitake), carrots and green peas. Add some beef broth about half a cup or if you don’t have extra, water is fine (it’s just not as flavourful though =p) let it simmer for 2 minutes.

4) Take the meatball from the oven and carefully transfer them unto the sauteed vegies, once done, you can now put beef gravy and let it simmer for another 5 minutes for all the flavours to incorporate.

5) Best served with white rice or on top of egg noodles or just by itself alone is just as gooooddd!! Just see the photo below as an example. LOL.

Hope you love it!

Bon apetit
