Nederburg Cabernet Sauvignon Rose
This beautiful rose wine is made entirely from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, fruit driven, refreshing with abundance of berry flavours and a pleasant long finish.
Description
I like this recipe because it is so easy to make and you can serve many people. Another typical childhood favourite food!

Take all ingredients and mash them as well as you can, then form them into long and narrow-ish balls, about half the size of a large orange. Fry them, or, cook them in the oven for a healthier option (30-45', 180C). Once cooked, leave them to cool down, or put in the fridge. At this stage, you can leave them in the fridge overnight.
For the sauce, add the ingredients above and simmer for 20 minutes before putting the meatballs there one by one. Leave for 30 minutes.
Ideally, serve with rice, greek salad and tzatziki.
