55: CREATING A SIMPLE LIFE on our Portugal farm!!!

This week we take a break from our renovation work to do some much needed maintanance on our cherry orchard. We also make some lovely meatballs in a delicious sauce, and as promised we bring you some of last weekend's market, which was a great success for us. Thank you to those who drove especially to see and support us. Recipe: Ingredients: Minced meat (pork/beef mix) 2 Onions chopped Garlic chopped Padron peppers chopped Slice of bread Milk (for soaking bread) Celery chopped Carrot chopped Chouriço Salt and pepper Smoked paprika Dried oregano Dried parsley Red wine Beef (or chicken/vegetable) stock Meat balls: Cut the slice of bread into small cubes, place in a bowl, pour the milk over, season, and place to one side to soak. In a seperate bowl, place one of the chopped onions, the padron peppers, chouriço, minced meat, and soaked bread cubes. Season with the paprika, oregano, parsley, salt and pepper, and mix together. Roll into balls, and fry in a pan with some olive oil. One fried, remove from the pan, and place to one side while making the sauce. Sauce: In the same pan used for the meatballs, Saute the other onion, carrots and celery (mirepoix 😜) until starting to soften nicely. Add a little chouriço (optional) and some garlic, and saute until fragrant. Add a little wine, and cook for a few minutes, then add the stock, bring to a boil, then turn down the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the meatballs back in, and cook for 25-30 minutes until sauce is nicely reduced. You can use a little cornstarch (maizena) mixed in some cold water to thicken up the sauce if you want. Once sauce has reached your desired thickness, the dish is ready to be served with mashed potatoes (we had it this way), or rice or even on a sub. We hope you enjoyed this week's video, and we thank you for joining us again. We wish you all an amazing weekend. Until next time, Tchauzinho!!!
