Beetroot meatballs....sneaking in some goodness

I made these for lunch and they were a hit with baby, so I decided to post on here. Notice I don't use measurements because I was taught to cook old school, with my eyes, my nose and my hands. 

What you will need:

1 Beetroot
500 grams mince beef
2 eggs
Semolina (I used Atta Mark flour)
Salt to taste


Step 1: Grate some beetroot (raw). I used one medium sized one. 





Step 2:

Mix in the rest of the ingredients. use about three or four table spoons of flour and a little salt to taste.

And the mixture looks like this....



Step 3: Brush some oil onto an oven proof tray...You can also fry them, I prefer using the oven as it 'frees my hands' to do something else.





Step 4: Form the meat balls, I use a spoon to sort of measure the quantities and bake 20 - 25 minutes at gas mark 8

 

Here is: Serve with rice, or bread....I had mine with guacamole and brown rice
