FiXatoFor today's #dinner I made #Dutch #meatballs from (almost ¹) scratch.
Contrary to the #SwedishMeatballs that are more common here in #Norway, they are quite a bit bigger; about the size of a tennisball I think? #Kjøttkaker might come close, but those also don't tend to be as spherical, and the spices used are quite a bit different.
Made these by mixing 250 grammes of pork mince and an about equal amount of beef mince, adding finely crumbled #kavringer (instead of the #beschuit I would've used in the #Netherlands), pepper, salt, smoked paprika, thyme, leftover slow-cooked onion, freshly sliced raw onion, roasted garlic and an egg. Let it stand for an hour or so to let the aromas of the spices and herbs seep in, before rolling balls from it.
Seared them in vegetable oil before adding butter and more onions and garlic. Once the onions were nice and golden, I added chopped tomatoes, and eventually some ketjap manis and water.
Served it with boiled potatoes from our share of the potato harvest at the #ecoGarden we're member of, #BØB, and a jar of red cabbage I heated up with some finely chopped apple.
The final dish might not have been plated nicely or looked appealing, but to me it tasted like my childhood home. <3
And @Siiw seemed to enjoy it too. :D
¹ almost from scratch, since the minced pork and beef meat came from the supermarket, rather than having ground it myself. I did mix the pork and beef myself in a 1/1 ratio.

FiXato (fallback)Plucked a bunch of #berries at our #ecogarden patch. :)

One box of #raspberries (#bringebær, #RubusIdaeobatus?) and 3 boxes of #blackcurrants (#solbær, #cassis or #RibesNigrum).

oh wow, that #fusilli #pasta with canned #tuna🐟 I made turned out better than I expected.
I bet the fresh slow-cooked onions 🌰, carrots 🥕, pink/white beets and broccoli 🥦 —most of them from the shared #BØB #ecogarden patch— really made a difference.
I like having these fresh #veggies in the fridge, and just slicing them thinly, and sautéeing him in some oil and/or butter to add some colour and filling to a dish.
Even just broccoli stems can make a difference.
Made some #beef (minced meat) #stroganoff with a bunch of fresh, #homegrown, #veggies earlier this week. :)
Apart from the onions, all veggies came from our shared #ecogarden harvests. :) So, fresh #carrots, #beets, #broccoli, #garlic and #leek! :D

We're not growing #potatoes at our #EcoGarden patch this year, but we do have a couple in buckets outside our home. We'll probably still get more than we'll end up using up from our share of the #BØB harvest though.
The #mint needs trimming too I see...

And here are some of the #garlic and #onion leftovers that the missus @Siiw that was part of our share of the early harvest at our local shared #ecoGarden #BØB:

(The big onions have already been eaten, as they rarely last long in our kitchen 😅, but there's still some green shoots of them left. #WasteNot)
EiderLangostino de Ibarra or guindilla. It's a guindilla plant in my parents' garden. #ecofood #ecogarden
