Cooking Instructions for making Meatballs Doria
Cook Meatballs In a frying pan OR according to the instructions on the package if you use store-bought Meatballs.
Preheat oven to 200℃.
Heat Butter (OR Oil) in a frying pan, cook finely chopped Onion and Garlic until soft, add Peas and Corn Kernels, add cooked Rice, mix to combine, and season with Salt & Pepper (and add Tomato Paste, Spices OR Herbs).
To make White Sauce, heat Butter in a saucepan over medium heat until melted and foaming, add Flour and cook stirring until mixture bubbles. Slowly add Milk, stirring constantly until sauce boils and thickens. Season with Salt & Pepper.
*Note: White Sauce can be cooked in the microwave, and it is much easier. See ‘Super Easy White Sauce’ page.
