Beef Feta Cheese Meatballs on a bed of Salad Leaves

My husband and son absolutely love meatballs; I find them a little boring at times so I decided to add a bit of healthy cheese type sauce to make them a bit more interesting. The results were 2 very happy boys and plenty left over for me to freeze for George’s dinners. This receipe is great if you are aiming for a low carb meal.

Ingredients (Serves four)

• 50g Greek style cheese (Aldi)

• Half a pack/full pack rocket, watercress or spinach leaves (Aldi)
• 2 red pepper (Aldi)
• 2 red onions diced (Aldi)
• 1 courgette (Aldi)
• 600 grams of Beef Meatballs (Aldi)
• 2 x tinned tomatoes (Aldi)
• Parsley leaves (Aldi)
• Chilli flakes (optional extra)
• Salt and ground black pepper to taste
• Coconut oil (Aldi)

Carla’s Method

• Dice the onions, deseed and dice the peppers, dice the courgette
• Heat the coconut oil in a large frying pan on a medium/high heat
• Add the onions, peppers and courgette and stir fry for 3-4 minutes or until you they begin to soften
• Increase to maximum heat and roll the meatballs in to the frying pan (I enjoyed this part)
• Fry them until they are browned
• Pour in the cans of chopped tomatoes and bring to boil, reduce the heat to simmer for around 8-10 minutes until the meatballs are fully cooked through.
• Remove pan from heat and crumble over the feta and parsley
• Place on bed of salad leaves of your choice.
