Delicious Foods!

I was doing a brief shop just to top up the cupboards before I get more money and came across some venison meatballs. So my mind started tucking over with possibilities. This is what i came up with.

Venison Meatballs with Tomato, Raisin & Wine Sauce
served with: Tagliatelle and Blue Cheese, Tomato & Basil Foccacia


400g Venison Meatballs or Mince
1 Onion
1/2 Red Pepper
2 Cloves of Garlic
400g Chopped Tomatoes

2 tbsp Raisins
1 Glass of White Wine
500g Tagliatelle

1 tbsp Tomato Puree
1tsp Oregano
1/2tsp Parsley
1tsp Basil
1tbsp Olive Oil
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Pepper

1. Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan. Chop the onion, garlic and pepper into small pieces and fry in the oil until softened.
2. Add the meatballs to the pan and stir lightly until the meat is browned. Add the raisins and put the lid on the saucepan. Leave for 5mins.
3. Add the tomatoes, wine, seasoning and herbs to the saucepan and replace the lid. Simmer for 15mins.
4. Whilst the meatballs simmer, fill a large saucepan with water and put on a high heat. Once the water comes to the boil add the tagliatelle. Remove the lid from the meatballs.
5. Check the meatballs and tagliatelle is cooked and serve.

( I also served mine with a foccacia bread made from a mix and a mixed leaf salad.)
