Ingredients:
- for the meatballs
- small bunch lovage, finely chopped
- 1 egg
- 5-6 drops tabasco
- for the soup
- small bunch lovage, leaves only, roughly
Directions:
- 1. For the meatballs: heat the oil in a small frying pan over a medium-low heat. Add the onion and fry, stirring frequently, for about 10 minutes until it is transparent. Put it in a large mixing bowl with the minced beef, lovage, ground rice, egg and Tabasco, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix everything together, kneading the mixture against the side of the bowl until you can feel the consistency become smooth and almost dough-like.
- 2. Line a baking sheet with greaseproof paper or baking parchment (I used foil)Take a small amount of the meat mixture, about the size of a hazelnut, and roll it into a ball between your hands. Put it on the baking sheet and repeat with the rest of the mixture, then set aside. It is handy to have a bowl of warm water beside you; dip your hands in every few minutes to stop the meatballs sticking to your palms.
- 3. For the soup: in a large pan, heat the olive oil over a low heat. Add the onion, carrot and celery and fry gently, stirring frequently, for 10 minutes. Pour in the water, increase the heat to medium, and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the tomato purée, crumbled stock cubes, vinegar and sugar and simmer for another 15 minutes.
- 4. Gently add the meatballs to the soup, reduce the heat to low, partially cover the pan and continue cooking for 30 minutes. Stir in the lovage and season with salt and pepper. Leave the soup to simmer for 10 minutes longer, before serving hot.
