Incredibly tender and flavourful, this classic Italian-style meal is a winner with freshly cooked pasta. Adding half a cup of Roodeberg to the sauce enhances its heartiness and umami flavours. Serves four.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll need: For the meatballs &#8230; 1-and-a-half cups soft breadcrumbs; half a cup milk; 500g lean beef mince; half a finely chopped or coarsely grated onion; 2 cloves finely chopped\/grated garlic; 1 XL lightly whisked egg; a handful of finely chopped parsley; half a cup fine grated parmesan cheese;\u00a0 salt and pepper.<\/p>\n<p>For the sauce &#8230; 30ml olive oil; 1 clove finely grated garlic; 760g tomato passata; 30ml tomato paste; half a cup red wine; 1 teaspoon sugar; salt and pepper.<\/p>\n<p>For serving &#8230; freshly cooked pasta (spaghetti\/linguini\/tagliatelle); more finely grated parmesan cheese; a few fresh basil leaves.<\/p>\n<p>To make: Prepare the meatballs. Place the breadcrumbs and milk in a large mixing bowl and stir to moisten all over. Add the mince, onion, garlic, egg, parsley and parmesan, season generously with salt and pepper. Mix with a spoon\/spatula until just incorporated, then gently shape into large balls using a serving spoon and clean hands (about 10 large or 14 medium). Arrange the meatballs in a casserole dish and set aside while you make the sauce. In the meantime, preheat the oven to 200\u00b0C.<\/p>\n<p>Prepare the sauce. In a medium saucepan, heat the oil and fry the garlic over medium heat for a minute, then add the passata, wine, sugar and season with salt and pepper. Stir, then bring to a simmer. Cook over low heat for five minutes, then pour all over the prepared meatballs and bake at 200\u00b0C for 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve hot with freshly cooked pasta, topped with grated parmesan and fresh basil.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-31532 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/05\/Roodeberg-Reserve-and-Risotto-landscape-HR-400x284.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"284\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/05\/Roodeberg-Reserve-and-Risotto-landscape-HR-400x284.jpg 400w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/05\/Roodeberg-Reserve-and-Risotto-landscape-HR-1024x727.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/05\/Roodeberg-Reserve-and-Risotto-landscape-HR-768x545.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/05\/Roodeberg-Reserve-and-Risotto-landscape-HR-100x70.jpg 100w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/05\/Roodeberg-Reserve-and-Risotto-landscape-HR-696x494.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/05\/Roodeberg-Reserve-and-Risotto-landscape-HR-1068x758.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/05\/Roodeberg-Reserve-and-Risotto-landscape-HR-592x420.jpg 592w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/05\/Roodeberg-Reserve-and-Risotto-landscape-HR.jpg 1522w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>Creamy mushroom &amp; spinach risotto<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Roodeberg Classic Ros\u00e9 is also Ilse\u2019s wine of choice for preparing creamy mushroom &amp; spinach risotto that is best enjoyed with the bold and beautifully textured Roodeberg Reserve. Another comforting one pot meal, this quick and easy vegetarian recipe calls for a dash of cream and melds seamlessly with the soft, silky tannins of the wine. Serves four.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll need: 30ml butter; 15ml olive oil; 250g chopped brown mushrooms; salt and pepper, to taste; 1 medium finely chopped onion; 2 cloves finely chopped garlic; 3 sprigs thyme (leaves only, stalks discarded); 1-and-a-half cups risotto rice; half a cup Roodeberg Classic Ros\u00e9 (or dry white wine); 750ml vegetable stock; 3 cups roughly chopped baby spinach; half a cup fresh cream; half to 1 cup parmesan cheese.<\/p>\n<p>To make: In a wide heavy-based pot (about 26cm), heat the butter and oil, then fry the mushrooms until golden brown and season with salt and pepper. Remove from the pan and set aside, then turn down the heat to medium-low and add the onions, frying until soft and translucent but not brown. Add the garlic and thyme and fry for another 30 seconds, then add the rice. Stir, toasting the rice for about three to four minutes until lightly brown, then add the wine and stir to loosen any sticky bits on the bottom. Reduce until the liquid has almost been absorbed completely, then add three-quarters of the fried mushrooms back to the pot as well as the stock, ladle by ladle, stirring in-between and only adding more once the previous liquid has almost been absorbed. Continue until the rice is al dente (tender with a slight bite in the centre &#8211; it will take about 10 to 12 minutes), then add the spinach, cream and half the parmesan and stir. Cook for one to two minutes, then remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper. Cover, let it stand for a few minutes before ladling into bowls, serving hot with the remaining mushrooms on top and more parmesan.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-31531 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/05\/Roodeberg-reduction-portrait-2-HR-267x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"267\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/05\/Roodeberg-reduction-portrait-2-HR-267x400.jpg 267w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/05\/Roodeberg-reduction-portrait-2-HR-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/05\/Roodeberg-reduction-portrait-2-HR-696x1044.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/05\/Roodeberg-reduction-portrait-2-HR-280x420.jpg 280w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/05\/Roodeberg-reduction-portrait-2-HR.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 267px) 100vw, 267px\" \/>Classic red wine reduction jus <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You can\u2019t beat a rich and tangy jus to drizzle over roasts and grilled steak. For her delicious French-style red wine reduction, Ilse recommends the commemorative Roodeberg 1949 for its full bodied texture and flavours of cinnamon, sweet spice and ripe, juicy dark fruit. It is also the perfect wine to enjoy with a roast or juicy steak. This makes about three-quarters of a cup.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll need: 3 tablespoons butter; half a cup finely chopped onion (white\/red or shallot); 1 sprig thyme; 1 bay leaf; 180ml Roodeberg 1949 (dry red wine); 500ml beef stock.<\/p>\n<p>To make: Add two tablespoons of the butter to a small saucepan over medium heat, then fry the onion for a few minutes until lightly brown. Add the thyme, bay leaf and wine, then bring to a simmer and reduce to half. Add the stock and turn up the heat, cooking and reducing until you are left with about one cup in total. Strain through a sieve, then return to the pot and bring to a slow simmer. Season with salt and pepper and reduce further until you have about three-quarters of a cup. Remove from the heat and add the remaining tablespoon of butter, stirring until it has melted and you are left with a glossy jus. Serve at once with your favourite cut of meat, or leave to cool and reheat when ready to serve, stirring well.<\/p>\n<p>Details: For more recipes and wine info, visit roodeberg.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No-fuss, one pot meals enriched with a splash of Roodeberg are easy to prepare and energy efficient.
