Garlic, Rosemary seared Meatballs On a bed of tomato, basil and pancetta yellow lentils with a mustard rocket and basil pesto..

Salut!

This is a dish i sort of just created today, 

Tell you woh(t)!?(British accent) All those elements just work together!

Fantastic on the pallet.

Lets get on with ih(t) inih(t)?(British accent).

The yellow lentils are cooked for about 15 minutes, which is until they're a lil less than cooked, because there's a 2nd cooking process when they are transferred into the sauce. The sauce has pancetta(you could use bacon if you like, really), onions and at the end, some fresh basil. The lovely lightly sweet taste comes from a lil sugar and a lil balsamic vinegar, and to complete it some nice chopped tomatoes.

The meatballs are a mere combination of egg yolk, jar mustard seeds(fantastic with any beef), garlic, rosemary(chopped). These should just be seared until cooked through and beautifully brown on the outside.

A lovely accompaniment is that mustard rocket and basil pesto. Its dismally easy though. Just a whizzing(in the processor) of jar mustard seeds, few leaves of rocket and basil with a tad olive oil and alil balsamic dressing creates a lovely blend of refreshing flavours that are fantastic with the meatballs.

Try this...and let me know how it goes....oh wait....let me know if you want a full recipe...that means....
