1/2 tsp (2 ml) oregano

1/2 tsp (2 ml) salt

1 tbsp (15 ml) Worcestershire sauce

Grated rind of 1 small orange

1 tbsp (15 ml) butter

Instructions

To make meatballs, mix together all the meatball ingredients except the butter. Shape into small balls. In large fry pan, sauté meatballs in butter over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes or until well browned. Remove from fry pan; set aside.

To make mushroom sauce, sauté mushrooms in butter until softened; set aside.

In a bowl, dissolve cornstarch in a little of the milk. Add cornstarch mixture to the fry pan with remaining milk and cook, stirring, until mixture comes to a boil and is thickened. Add the remaining sauce ingredients, meatballs and mushrooms. Return to a boil, cover and simmer for 15 minutes.

Serve meatballs on mashed potatoes, rice or pasta (such as macaroni, penne, fusilli or rotini).
