1 Half chopped onion
2 carrots
2 small baby potatoes
1 chopped tomato
Mince Beef
Beef stock
Knorr mince sauce
1/2 of rice
Olive oil

Preparing the food:

Cooking the rice
First step is to boil water ( pour as much water you can in the kettle)
Then place a pot on the stove and then once the water is done boiling you can pour the water in the pot
Wait for the water to boil in the pot
Then you can add the half a cup of rice and a pinch of salt and stir it
Once the water is done in the pot,add more water to the rice and then pour the water out to drain the starch in the rice then pour cold water in the pot (it nust jusy cover the rice) and take the pot to the stove
Then wait for the water to finish in the pot then your rice is ready

Cooking the mince

Chop the onion in small dices and place them aside
Peel the carrots and grate them and place them aside
Boil the baby potatoes( I just put them in boiling water in a bowl and cooked them in the microwave)
Cut the tomato in dices
Get the mince and put it in a big bowl and put a pinch of salt and add a teaspoon, a half of black pepper,add a teaspoon coriander and thyme (you can add more if you like )
Add the carrots and the onion then mix all the ingredients with the mince
Once all mixed arrange the mince to look like balls. They can be small, medium or large depending on how you want the meatballs to look like
Once done making the meatballs
Get a frying pan and pour about a table spoon of olive oil,once the pan is hot add the meatballs and keep turning them around until they have become brown or look like they are getting cooked
After that put the meatballs aside in a plate
Then get a pot and pour 1 teaspoon and a half of olive oil
Wait for the oil to get hot and then add the potatoes and the tomato
Fry them until the potatoes are a bit golden brown then after that add 400ml of cold water to the pot and add the mince sauce and stir and wait for it to boil
While boiling ,keep stirring
Then add a half of 1 beef stock and keep stirring
Then add the meatballs and turn down the heat and let it boil for about 30/40 minutes
When the water finishes in the pot add more (just enough to cover the meatballs in the pot).
Do that until the sauce becomes thick
Let your meatballs simmer and just keep turning them once in a while
After the sauce is a bit thick then you can take the pot out
And your food is ready:)
