Recipe's preparation

    Meatballs

  1. Add carrot and zucchini and chop speed 5 for 5 seconds

  4. Add onion and garlic to bowl and chop speed 6 for 4 seconds. Scrape down bowl.

  5. Add oil and cook on varoma (steaming temp) speed 1 for 4 minutes.

  6. Add chopped zucchini to bowl and chop speed 5 for 4 seconds.

  7. Add rest of ingredients to bowl.  Be careful not to overfill the bowl. Put water in last, so as to only fill to the max line if 200 ml is too much.

  8. Add varoma and meatballs to lid. Cook on Veroma temp for 30 minutes speed 2.

  9. Meatballs should be cooked at this stage so remove from varoma and put in thermoserver and cook sauce for a further 5-8 minute on varoma temp to reduce sauce a little more.

  10. One sauce done tip over meatballs and let sit for about 5 minute before serving with pasta or zucchini noodles or just with a side serve of veggies.

Tip

If you halve the recipe you may be able to just cook the meatballs in the steaming basket.  This has not been tested though but have seen some other recipes do it.

This recipe freezes well also.  I freeze in portions to reheat for my children when I am in need of a quick dinner.

    Nice recipe, thank you. I didn't have the exact YIAH dip mixes needed for for this so i used a couple for the meatballs and a different two for the sauce. I did find the sauce didn't thicken as much as i thought it would but there was enough left over that put in the freezer for next time.
