Absolutely delicious, made the meatballs with chicken mince and served with veg. I doubled the meatball mix (but kept the sauce the same) and now have a stash for the freezer. Thanks Leonie
Just made this and cooked the meatballs in my airfryer at 180 degrees for 20mins. I preheated the airfryer first. Loved buy all, I didn’t put the sauce on the meatballs for the kids, I put it on the side so they could control how much they put on them. Thanks
I made these for dinner tonight as I had some minced pork that needed to be used up. Very easy to do and family rly quick to make. The meat balls were very moist which was good as I thought they may be a bit dry from previous comment, I used GF bread so that may have been the reason. Veggies were nicely cooked the rice was a bit gluggy though. Thank you Leonie for a good recipe.
I made these using Jill's suggestion of steaming the meatballs while cooking brown rice. Worked great. I added the veg to the steamer with 15 mins to go, although this was a bit long. Mr 12 found the flavor a bit strong, so next time I would probably water the sauce down a bit more, or serve it on the side as a dipping sauce. I loved it!
My sometimes fussy partner who is not a fan of the TM loves this recipe. It would be his favourite after the Tuna Rice Pie. I really appreciate your lovely meals, thank you.
Thank you so much Amanda. Always great to hear that fussy partners and kids enjoy my recipes too! :) Yes my tuna rice pie is awesome if I may say so myself!! :)
This was another hit with my husband. I didn't think it would be but seeing as I am trying out so many new dishes I figured I would give this one a try. The sauce was sooooooooooo much nicer than the bought stuff - even he commented on it tasting better - FTW !!! Thanks again Leonie for changing up our meals !
This is a yummy overall dish that smells great and is really easy to do. I don't like baking them in the oven (maybe I make them to small) as I find they dry out to much, so tonight I steamed them with the rice and vegies or my it was delicious. Thanks Leonie for another great recipe.
Absolutely delicious! They've been on my 'to make' list for weeks, but I finally remembered to add them to the meal plan this week and buy the ingredients! Not sure if fussy miss twonager will eat them tomorrow, but hubby and I had them tonight and they were delicious! Will definitely be making these again.
Hi. I would like to cook this but on reading Tracey's comments, I would have cooked the rice and veg at the same time too. So just checking, the rice is cooked first, taken out and then cook the veggies?
Karen the rice is cooked at the same time as the vegetables in the varoma. Make sure you use boiling water from the kettle to start with. If you are using hard vegetables such as potato and carrot make sure they are in small bite size pieces. Then the veg will definitely cook in the 14 mins at the same time as the rice is being cooked in the basket. Make sure temp is on varoma. :)
Our family really enjoyed this one. Although I did “misread” instructions and put the rice and the veg in at the same time. Did think it was odd that I was adding in 1500gm water while I had rice in, but went ahead anyway...resulting in overflowing rice and uncooked veg!
Oooh im glad i read this before i cooked!!! I totally would have done it altogether!! Great, easy recipe... Kid favourite and i had everything in the pantry/fridge/freezer already. Thanks!
This recipe was a crowd pleasure (at least my fussy family anyway). The sauce is so much better than the premade stuff. We used chicken and cooked for 25mins in oven. Thanks for a great recipe.

Delicious! I cooked brown rice in the jug and the meatballs in the varoma- 45 min/100'C/ speed 4. Perfect!
thermofun says
Thanks for sharing Jill and they are pretty amazing :D
