Microwave Meatballs in Chilli Sauce: An American recipe for a dish of fried beef meatballs in a tomato, bell pepper and chilli powder sauce that's adapted to be cooked in a microwave.
Ingredients:
For the Meatballs:
2 tbsp oil
1 onion, peeled and finely chopped
500g lean beef, minced
50g breadcrumbs
1 tbsp
parsley, finely chopped
1/2 tsp dried
oregano, crumbled
1/2 egg, beaten (about)
salt and freshly-ground
black pepper, to taste
For the Sauce:
400g tin of chopped tomatoes
1 tsp hot
chilli powder
1 onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, de-seeded and chopped
1 tsp sugar
3 tbsp dry red wine
1 tbsp cornflour (cornstarch)
Method:
Pour the oil into a microwave-safe bowl. Place in your microwave (1200W) and heat for 30 seconds. Stir the onion into the oil, place back in your microwave and cook for 2 minutes.
Combine the beef, breadcrumbs, parsley, oregano, salt and black pepper in a bowl. Add enough egg to bind the mixture. Divide into eight equal portions and form these into meatballs. Arrange these in a single layer on top of the onions then place in your microwave (1200W) and cook for 3 minutes, turning the meatballs once half way through.
When the meatballs are done, prepare the sauce. Combine the tomatoes, chilli powder, onion, pepper, sugar and wine in a large bowl. Place in your microwave and cook on high power for 3 minutes, stirring half way through. Whisk the cornflour with 2 tbsp water to form a slurry. Whisk this into the sauce mixture then pour the sauce over the meatball and onion mix.
Place back in your microwave and cook for 3 minutes on high power. Serve hot, accompanied by boiled rice.
