I like the idea of a recipe site. I enjoy cooking myself and it is always good to be able to get new and interesting recipes to try. I price sounds okay. A idea would be that the recipes be as easy as possible because I believe that you can be put off by complicated recipes and too many ingredients.
Here's an easy one to try:
Italian Meatball Soup
Ingredients (4 serves)
500g lean beef mince
1 small red onion, grated
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/2 cup fresh white breadcrumbs
1/3 cup basil leaves, finely chopped
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 egg, lightly beaten
700g bottle (2 3/4 cups) tomato paste sauce with basil
4 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup risoni pasta (soup pasta)
2 zucchinis, diced
150g green beans, trimmed, cut into thirds
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese and crusty Italian bread, to serve
Method:
Combine mince, onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, basil, parmesan and egg in a large bowl. season with salt and pepper. Mix well. Roll tablespoonfuls of mixture into balls. Place on a large plate.
Pour tomato sauce, stock and 2 cups water into a large, deep saucepan. Cover and bring to boil over high heat. Skim froth from surface. Add meatballs. Return to a gentle boil.
Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Add risoni and cook for a further 5 minutes. Add zucchini and beans. cook for 5 minutes or until risoni and vegetables are tender.
Ladle soup into serving bowls. Sprinkle with parmesan and serve with crusty Iltalian bread.
ENJOY!
