What is Kinetic Chain Release? Kinetic Chain Release (also known as KCR) is a simple yet extremely effective system of medically recognised and approved, gentle joint mobilisations and stretches, developed and taught to those who wish to learn by Scottish Physiotherapist Hugh Gilbert. KCR brings the physical body back into balance quickly and easily, frequently providing a high degree of relief and even instant resolution in many cases from pain and discomfort caused by a variety of conditions such as Chronic back pain; Fibromyalgia; Carpal Tunnel Syndrome; Chronic Fatigue; IBS; Migraine & Cluster Headaches; Teeth Clenching/ Grinding; Snoring/Sleep Apnoea; Bloating; Tennis/Golfers Elbow; Behavioural Disorders; Weak Ankles; Knee Problems; Neck Pain; Plantar Fasciitis; Stress; Menstrual Pain; Recurring Hamstring issues and PTSD. Clinically evaluated in North

America by the organisation FOTO (Focus on Therapeutic Outcomes), who have 19,600 clinicians listed with them in over 4,200 clinics and 16.9 million patient assessment outcomes reviewed, KCR was shown to meet the "Gold Standard" in measuring rehabilitation outcomes much quicker than other methods, thus saving much time and money. Hugh Gilbert's book "The Early-Aging Workforce, which is very readable for the layperson, explores his "putting together" of the KCR sequence over a number of years while running a number of high profile clinics in Canada and consulting to medical insurance companies and big corporations. KCR has many benefits and can reduce Health Care costs significantly as it can take fewer sessions than related modalities to achieve the same or an improved result when looking at clinical outcomes. It is a simple procedure which is currently revolutionising physical rehabilitation, with apparent knock-on effects on emotional/behavioural issues, and with 900 clinicians predominately in the US and Scotland, then other parts

of the UK and Europe, it is likely to continue to grow quickly. Your Gloucestershire based therapist is Mark Harris based in Drybrook, who has trained and been accredited by assessment with Hugh Gilbert personally as a result of his own experience of the KCR modality when all other avenues had not produced any or lasting benefits or results. Having been diagnosed with chronic fatigue/adrenal fatigue related to complex post-traumatic stress from service in HM forces and then other public services, it was only on meeting Hugh and some of his training team that Mark actually made substantial progress and then found other approaches working with lasting effect. As a result of the dramatic improvement, Mark decided to train in KCR and to offer the service to others. He is looking at hiring treatment room space or can do workplace visits or home visits if sufficient space. For any discussion or to book an assessment and treatments please contact Mark on 07824449011 or 01594 543585 or email alderhollyltd@yahoo.co.uk.

Ever fallen over or been pulled over? Back pain, neck pain or arm numbness? KCR Therapy can help! BRING YOUR BODY BACK TO BALANCE & HEALTH KCR (Kinetic Chain ReleaseTM) is a series of mobilisations and stretches which allows your body to return to natural balance. It is gentle, non-invasive and safe for all ages. Benefits can include relief from chronic pain, increased energy levels and improvement in sports. KCR has been subjected to clinical review in the United States and is recognised as providing the possible results suggested in this advert.

Kinetic Chain Release (KCR) can give release from: • Chronic Fatigue • Fibromyalgia • Carpal Tunnel • Knee Problems • Sprained Ankles • Scoliosis • Teeth Clenching • IBS • Chronic Stress

• Plantar Fasciitis • Back Pain • Neck Pain • Recurring Hamstring Strains • Pelvic problems • Tennis Elbow • Bloating • R.S.I • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

Cake and Bake Apricot Jam Swiss Roll Great for a teatime treat, this light sponge cake is best eaten on the day it’s made. For a chocolate version replace 25g of the flour with 25g sifted cocoa powder.

Ingredients:

1. Preheat the oven to 200C, Fan 180C, Gas 6. Lightly

• 100g caster sugar, plus extra for sprinkling

• 3 large eggs • 100g self-raising flour FILLING

• 100g unsalted butter, softened • 225g icing sugar • Few drops vanilla extract • 6 tbsp apricot conserve

Serves 8-10 Ready in 40 minutes, plus cooling time

TIP

Use any fruit conserve you like or try lemon or lime curd for a really tangy filling. Page 10

grease a 33x23cm Swiss roll tin and line the base and sides with baking paper. Lightly grease the baking paper. Place the eggs and sugar in a large mixing bowl and whisk with a hand-held electric whisk until the mixture is very thick and pale and the whisk leaves a trail when lifted out – this will take 8 to 10 minutes. Sift the flour over the whisked mixture, and gently fold it in with a metal spoon until just incorporated. Turn the mixture into the prepared tin, tilting it gently to make sure the mixture spreads evenly into the corners. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes until the sponge is pale golden and springs back when lightly pressed with your fingertips. Whilst the cake is baking, place a sheet of baking paper on a clean damp tea towel and sprinkle with 2tbsp caster sugar. Quickly invert the hot sponge onto the paper and peel off the lining paper. Trim the edges of the sponge and roll up firmly from one short end with the paper inside. Leave to cool completely. To make the buttercream filling, beat together the butter and vanilla extract then gradually beat in the icing sugar until smooth and creamy. Carefully unroll the cooled cake and remove the paper. Spread the buttercream over the sponge then spread the apricot conserve on top. Gently re-roll and serve sliced.

Thriving local Artists' Co-operative launches second exhibition of 2017

England and Wales, bringing to life every season, every weather circumstance, every landscape creatively and imaginatively. His latest imagery takes in the starkly beautiful winter glories of the Brecon Beacons.

Artistree's 'Spring into Summer' Exhibition, which opened last month, is running until the end of June. The Ledbury-based artist and designer co-operative's second exhibition of the 2017 season is held at their atmospheric Gallery, upstairs within the timber-framed sixteenth century Ledbury Heritage Centre along Church Lane. The new works on display showcase the wideranging creative talents of this diverse group based throughout the Three Counties. Cheltenham-based sculptor Alice Shield offers emotional and spiritual insights into the female psyche through her languid figurative works. Cantillon Howell's exquisite glassworks are outstanding in form and design, he truly engages with his heart and soul in his thought-provoking works. Textile artist Marion Steele, from Worcester, looks to sea and the coast for inspiration, using the rugged structure of cliff and cove in different moods to weave and stitch evocative warm-textured interpretations. (Image: Marion Steele) The sea, with all its power and majesty, has also inspired artist Paddy Hannigan in his two large-scale paintings interpreting the elemental forces in a semi-abstract form accompanied by other works exploring different landscapes in varying mood, colour and mark making. From sea to land, artist Bill Denny uses a Cubiststyle approach in his artistic journey encompassing the intense relationships between form and structure offering colour and shape that sometimes throws the viewer off-centre but never fail to inspire and uplift. Photographer Brian Griffiths offers evocative images of locations across the borderlands of Page 12

(Image: Jane Foot)

Based in Newent, Encaustic Artist Jane Foot gets her inspiration from the written word. Here her new work stems from personal letters, as in her collaged work '1987', and from poems by Edward Thomas (one of the Dymock Poets, who died 100 years ago this year) in 'Invisible Threads.'

Anna Cumming's image is being used as the signature image for the 'Spring into Summer' Exhibition a stunning, vibrant interpretation of the Malvern Hills. Also exhibiting are Jen Janes, with her gentle and harmonious interpretations of nature and landscapes; Brian Richardson with his abstracted interpretations of physical and emotional life events, and Alan Richardson, with his collections and concoctions of metal and wood figures and artefacts: truly unique sculpture. The exhibition runs Wednesday to Sunday (and occasional Tuesdays) from 10.30am to 4.30pm, until Sunday 25th June. The Gallery is manned by the Artists themselves, with a warm welcome and the opportunity to talk about the artworks on display. For more information, visit our website www.artistree.org.uk and follow us on social media: facebook.com/galleryofartistree and twitter @homeofartistree.

Though the Gallery will be temporarily closed for two weeks, from 26th June to accommodate the Ledbury Poetry Festival, Artistree will re-open their doors for their third Exhibition of the year on 12th July.

Bredon Star R.F.C. celebrate their end of season with awards nights The Rugby Union in Bredon continues to grow and go from strength to strength and as a result is now very different from its humble beginnings in 1991. To mark the end of the 2016/17 season, the club recently held its annual awards evenings. The mini and junior event was celebrated by 200 boys and girls. Together with their coaches, they sat down to dinner which was served by the club’s senior playing squad. The awards were presented by Donnacha O’Callaghan and Matt Cox, both from Worcester Warriors. Club Junior Section Chairman, Scott Jameson said: “We are delighted that our mini and junior section is thriving. We run sides from u6 through to u17’s and for the coming season we will extend this to Colts Rugby”. “On behalf of the club, we would like to most sincerely thank Donnacha and Matt for giving up their time to attend our end of season awards and be part of a fitting end to a wonderful season. The words of advice will long resonate with the young girls and boys in that 200-strong playing audience and their memories will last a lifetime.” The Senior Awards Evening was held the following night and had a Mexican theme. A great night was had by all with dancing into the small hours. The awards went to:

Club Chairman, Kevin Falvey said: “This has been a great season for us. No silverware, but our highest league finish in Gloucester 1. The players have conducted themselves impeccably both on and off the field and I am very proud of the way they have stuck with it this season”. “A very specials thanks goes to Kieran Matty our 1st team manager and Sam Verralls, the coach who in his first season of senior coaching has had a very significant impact on the way we play and the motivation of the players.” The club also runs a Vets and 2nd XV sides, together with a ladies summer touch team and a newly formed u14 girls touch team. Three years ago, it opened its first ever clubhouse and this additional facility has inspired a new wave of people of all ages to become involved in local grassroots rugby. The clubhouse helps the club raise its profile and encourages more players, volunteers and spectators to share the special values that distinguish the sport of rugby. We are always looking for more players, volunteers and sponsors, so if you feel you have something to offer, then please contact Kevin Falvey on 077778 554324 or look at our website www.bredonrugby.org for further details and contacts.

Different Types Of Holiday Insurance: Are You Fully Covered?

Buying holiday insurance can sometimes take a back seat when you’re planning to get away. It’s an important investment in your health and safety, however, offering protection and reassurance if something goes wrong when you’re a long way from home. The cost of holiday insurance depends on a number of factors including your age, the length of time you’ll be away, whether or not you’re travelling alone, and the types of activity on the agenda. A comprehensive ‘standard’ policy generally covers the following, although policies do vary: • Holiday cancellation or missed departure. • Theft. • Medical assistance. • Emergency repatriation. • Baggage loss or delay. • Other lost or damaged items. • Personal injury. So what other types of holiday insurance are available, and which might be suitable for you? Single trip/annual or multi trip If you only intend to take one break during a 12-month period, a single trip insurance policy would be the most cost-effective choice as long as it covers everything you need. Annual Page 22

or multi trip insurance is more suitable if you’re going away more than once a year, but there’s usually a maximum allowable duration which is generally 90 days. European/worldwide travel The expense of repatriating travellers from countries outside Europe, or obtaining medical treatment in the USA for example, is very high. Insurance companies have to take this into account when pricing their policies, so if you’re only travelling to Europe the cost should be lower than for worldwide travel. Take care to check whether a specified number of days are mentioned in the policy, as your insurance will be invalid if you exceed this number. Winter/extreme sports A ‘standard’ holiday insurance policy usually contains exclusion clauses relating to winter or extreme sports due to the additional risk of injury. Also, winter sports equipment is expensive, so you’ll need to pay more to cover it against loss or theft. Gap year/backpackers’ insurance Backpackers’ insurance provides cover for an extended length of time away, but there may be limitations specified in the policy, for example the number of times you can return to the UK. There could also be restrictions on returning home before the stated period ends, so it’s important to check the details. Unlike annual insurance where you can go away for several

trips during a 12-month period, gap year and backpackers’ insurance covers one extended holiday break. Family policies Family travel policies generally require all those included on the policy to live at the same address, and can be a cheaper option than insuring each family member individually. Some insurers offer higher rates of cover, or even free insurance for children under a certain age. Group travel Groups such as work colleagues, stag and hen parties, or school trips, where everyone travels to and from the same place, can use group travel insurance to save money. Some insurance companies offer one member of the group free insurance as an incentive. Pre-existing medical conditions If you have a pre-existing medical condition, you might be tempted to take a chance with your holiday insurance and not disclose it. This can prove to be a very expensive mistake, however, as the cost of repatriation is extremely high. Fortunately, some insurance companies offer policies for those already suffering from a health condition. Although it will be more costly than buying a standard policy, it’s impossible to put a price on peace of mind while you’re away. www.moneysupermarket.com/ travel-insurance/policy-types/ www.travelsupermarket.com/ en-gb/travel-insurance/medicalconditions/ www.askfinancially.co.uk/ travelinsurance/types-holiday. htm

Plan Your Car Hire This Summer Wherever you holiday, having your own transport can add an extra dimension to your exploring, rather than having to rely on excursions offered by your hotel or travel company. Even if your break is in the UK, hiring can ease the journey there too. A couple of years ago we caught the train to Cornwall; speeding by all the traffic jams was very satisfying and when we reached Penzance we hired a car and continued our journey. But if you haven’t hired a car in a while be aware that, since the abolition of the green paper part of the driving licence, in order to hire a vehicle you will now need to obtain a ‘check code’ from the DLVA website (www.gov.uk/view-driving-licence). You give the hire company this

code to allow them to access your driving licence information. These codes can only be used once, are valid for 21 days and are only for use with licences issued within the UK. If hiring abroad, check that these codes are valid in that country or if your photo ID licence alone is sufficient. If not, you may need an international driving permit too. Finally, if you are overseas, in the words of Michael Caine in The Italian Job: “Remember they drive on the wrong side of the road” (well, the right side actually). Joking aside, I found that once on the highway things were easy; it was at junctions and roundabouts that things got tricky. Oh, and I lost count of times I tried to change gear with the door handle! Enjoy your holiday motoring and have a safe trip there. By Iain Betson

Tewkesbury Space Program Launch

No, they haven’t landed here from Outer Space, however, the Space Program is bringing their 15 years of storage experience to Tewkesbury and they are having a party to celebrate. The official launch event of the Tewkesbury Space Program will be taking place in June and the readers of Tewkesbury Magazine are all invited along to help them celebrate. There will be hot dogs, goody bags, prizes and surprises. If you are running out of space, their secure, insured storage services might be exactly what you need. Tim and Hazel Edwards set up their company 15 years ago to help people who need more space – that’s why they are called The Space Program! “We are delighted to be launching our latest Space Program in Tewkesbury,” said Tim Edwards, Managing Director. “We hope readers of Tewkesbury Magazine will come along and join in the fun.” Hazel said “The Space Program is here to help people with secure storage for all sorts of things. From expensive toys like jet skis and motorbikes, to helping people who have been bereaved whilst they decide what to do with everything.” “We also have a range of services for local businesses. We can even receive deliveries for them so they don’t have to waste time hanging around.” Neil Cooper is the new Mission Controller of the Tewkesbury Space Program. Page 28

He would be delighted for you to call in even if you can’t make the launch event. He will put the kettle on, you can chat about storage and he might even give you a Milky Way or some Magic Stars! The launch event will be taking place from 8.30am to 5.30pm on Friday 9th June and 8.30am to 12.30pm on Saturday 10th June at The Tewkesbury Space Program, Northway Trading Estate, Northway Lane, Ashchurch GL20 8JH.

Inspirational Stories Tales of wartime, refugees and hardships overcome.

Behold the Dreamers - Imbolo Mbue Jende and Neni are firm believers in the American dream and know they can achieve a better life for themselves and their son. Jende works long hours as a chauffeur for the wealthy Clark Edwards and his family, while Neni does care work and studies to be a pharmacist. Then Jende is told his application for a green card has been rejected. As cracks also start appearing in the Edwards family’s lives, it seems the American dream may not be all Jende and Neni hoped for. Alone on a Wide Wide Sea - Michael Morpurgo Six year old Arthur is shipped off to Australia in 1947. He’s put to work on a farm and treated as little more than an unpaid servant. All he has left of his life in England is his lucky key, and memories of the big sister who stayed behind. Years later, Arthur builds a boat for his daughter Allie, to take her back to England and find his sister. A powerful story of what it means to be a family, Alone on a Wide Wide Sea is 10 years old this year. Why not lose yourself in Arthur’s story this summer? Page 30

The Girl Who Beat ISIS Farida Khalaf and Andrea C. Hoffmann ISIS kidnapped Farida Khalaf from her Northern Iraqi village in 2014. Beaten, raped and sold as a slave, the teenage Farida refused to bow down to her captors or to convert to their religion. After numerous attempts, and nearly being beaten to death, Farida eventually escaped with five other girls. Having been granted asylum in Germany, this is her harrowing tale as told to Andrea C. Hoffmann. Goodnight Mister Tom Michelle Magorian This classic tale tells the story of a cantankerous old man who takes in an evacuee in World War II Britain. Tom Oakley is gruff, reclusive and still grieving for the wife and son he lost so many years ago. His ward William has his own demons to battle, including an abusive mother. Together they learn to put the past behind them and trust in each other. When Will is summoned back to London and fails to keep in touch, Tom knows something’s wrong and sets off for the City to bring Will home.

The Nightingale - Kristin Hannah Two sisters in France at the start of World War II. One wants to keep her head down, wait for her husband to come home and keep her daughter safe. The other plans to do everything in her power to fight the enemy. Each will end up making her own contribution, resisting the Nazis and saving lives. As much a tale of sisters as it is of war, this is a truly powerful read that will haunt you for days afterwards. The Girl with Seven Names - Hyeonseo Lee Hyeonseo Lee gives us a glimpse into life in secretive and oppressive North Korea. She was raised in a country where the slightest sign of resistance against the government is punishable by torture or death. At 17, Hyeonseo fled to China, leaving behind her family, and wasn’t able to see them again for 12 years. She is now an advocate for refugees and speaks out about the plight of the people who still live in fear in North Korea. Her TED talk has been viewed 4 million times, by people across the world.

Nick “Slick” Slim storms to victory for the men Claudia “Whistlestop” Wilesmith takes it for the women Tewkesbury Tri winners

wife and two very young children.

Tewkesbury man, 39-year-old Nick "Slick" Slim stormed to victory on 7th May at Tewkesbury Sprint Triathlon. He also claimed fastest bike time in 35 minutes 03 seconds.

Nick said "This win is for Dave and I dedicate it to him and his family. I'm so shocked at his death and I hope everyone can support the family through this awful time."

The race took place over a new course taking advantage of the fantastic new leisure centre. This meant the finish could be on the open space at the back making it much more spectator friendly. The course also took in some of the historic site of the Tewkesbury Battlefield to add an extra dimension.

The club has set up a just giving page with a £5,000 target to support this local family. The page name is www.justgiving.com/ crowdfunding/ttc-onefamily

Slim made quick work of the race course of 400m Swim, 24km Bike and 5km Run completing in 1 hour and 59 seconds setting the standard for the new course. On completing the race Nick said "I've really been working on my run completing Tewkesbury park run most weeks, which has really helped me. Cycling is a given as I ride to work ever day, but I've literally done two swims this year so I'm really happy with today." Sadly, Nick raced the Tewkesbury race in honour of an athlete who died a couple of weeks ago. David Sheppard a Tewkesbury Tri Club member tragically died leaving a

here and is continuing to train with plenty of races coming up over the year.

Claudia (who works as secretary in a Tewkesbury-based solicitors) said "I'm really new to triathlon and when I first started I could barely swim a length, but with good help and support I've improved rapidly and I'm so pleased to have been the first female and 11th overall in what was a tough field."

Claudia continued “I’m really looking forward to my races for the rest of the year, especially the Iron Man 70.3 World Championships which I’ve qualified for. I’d love to think I could inspire others to give it a go. I’d really like to thank Echelon in Pershore for their great bike fit and my Tewkesbury Swimming Club coach Jon who has been amazing. Also big thanks to my family and partner Scott for their inspiration and support.”

Claudia, who also frequents Tewkesbury park run isn’t stopping

Home & Interiors The Art of Display

If you want to create displays of your treasured possessions that show them off, our top ten tips will help. 1 Consider what you are displaying, whether it is sturdy or fragile, valuable or everyday. Do you wish to admire it from afar or do you prefer it close to hand and perhaps picked up? You may find you can manage with a display on a mantelpiece, shelf or table top, or you can invest in a specially designed cabinet, case or stand. If you opt for specialist display furniture, choose pieces that complement the style and proportions of your home. 2 Good lighting makes all the difference. Carefully positioned ceiling-mounted spotlights are ideal, but an adjustable lamp may provide a more informal, cheaper fix for a simple domestic display. Think about where Page 36

By Katherine Sorrell

the light comes from: directly above, behind (for a dramatic silhouette) or from the front, and how ‘warm’ or ‘cool’ the bulb should be in order to enhance colour and texture.

considered and refined, and suit traditional rooms. Asymmetry, however, is ideal for making an impact in a contemporary space, and can seem more spontaneous and intuitive.

3 Group objects together and they can be much more than the sum of their parts. A group display may consist of almost anything: a series of Delftware plates or tiles, a dozen framed silk headscarves, pebbles in graduating sizes, mirrored baubles, wooden shoe lasts, a row of modern chairs in sorbet shades…you can have great fun with almost anything you decide to gather together.

7 A great way to make an impact with a display is by showing off a single, fabulous, huge object - but ensure there is plenty of space around it in which it can ‘breathe’.

4 Displays of identical pairs of objects are probably the most simple, and often the most visually powerful, of all. There’s something extremely pleasing about this mirroring and doubling, but you must ensure your objects are placed evenly and symmetrically. 5 When choosing a group of different objects to display, look for ways in which they will work together, whether by colour, size, shape, texture or proportion. It is important to have something that creates coherence and some objects may simply not fit well into the group. 6 Every time you display more than one object, you need to opt for symmetry or asymmetry. Symmetrical displays tend to appear more classical,

8 Small objects can look lost in most rooms, so be particularly careful about how you display them. Try to ‘frame’ them within their surroundings – maybe in a cabinet or niche, on a side table, or on a plinth rather than a long, wide shelf. 9 If displaying large groups of paintings, prints or flat objects on a wall, start by laying your potential group on the floor. Choose the piece that you wish to be most prominent, then surround it with pieces that work well alongside it. 10 Finally, stand right back - does your display need tweaking? Don’t be afraid to change things around, and try not to make the finished result overly formal or perfect. This is your home, not a gallery, and the important thing is that you love what’s around you.

Outdoor Relaxation by Pippa Greenwood

When you get back from a hard day’s work, or when you simply find the time to escape into the garden after a stressful day, then it is essential that you are met by a soothing environment. So, concentrate on a truly relaxing feel that will help you to unwind as you enjoy soft shades and textures of foliage, delicate flower colours and fabulous perfumes. Plants have an amazing ability to calm and soothe even the most wound up, stressed out mood, but what should you grow if you really want to create that perfect place to relax? Start by considering a fairly gentle perfume, like that produced by many roses. One of my favourites is ‘Felicia’. For something slightly richer try ‘Tuscany Superb’. If you have an arch, arbour, pergola or even a spare bit of fence then train a honeysuckle over it. Its delicately coloured flowers and fabulous perfume will cheer you up and you can even enjoy it in the early evening. A sowing of night-scented stock will produce plants that are perfect for early evening relaxation, as this is when the flowers open and produce wafts of really sweet scent. Page 40

If you have space for a goodsized container plant, then grow your own Datura or Brugmansia. Commonly known as the angel’s trumpet, these plants produce large elegant trumpet-shaped flowers with a wonderful perfume. Think too of plants with a relaxing feel to them, such as the grass Chasmanthium latifolium which grows to a height of about 45 cm and carries its flattened seed heads above the leaves. They move about delicately in the breeze and are almost impossible not to stroke. Artemisia abrotanum has soft grey-green leaves that will make you want to touch it, which releases a lovely aroma. The perfume of lavender is often used in aromatherapy because of its calming, soothing properties, so grow this in a sunny spot with freedraining soil, perhaps to edge a border. It not only has lovely, slightly furry or felt-like foliage but also produces that heavenly smell. Grasses and bamboos work well too; the rustling sound of bamboo foliage as the stems sway gently is one of the most relaxing sounds I know, and for smaller spaces many of the grasses form wonderfully

rounded and quite irresistible clumps of foliage. When it comes to choosing flowers, if you want to relax then concentrate on cream, white and, of course, the pastel shades. Green is known to be a relaxing colour too, so include plenty of plants with good foliage, and, in shady areas, a miniature grotto-like patch planted up with ferns is wonderful. And finally, before you rush off to the garden centre to buy some of these truly magical ingredients, just a reminder that water in a garden always helps to relax you. Whether it’s a small pond or perhaps a bubble fountain, position it where you can hear that sound of moving water or enjoy watching the wildlife as it comes to feed and drink - and before you know it, you will find that you want to move the whole of your life into your garden.

Bolognese Meatballs Serves 4

Ready in 50 minutes

These delicious homemade meatballs are flavoured with basil and oregano then cooked in a rich tomato sauce. Serve with spaghetti for a classic Italian supper, or for a change pile on top of boiled rice or steamed couscous.

Ingredients: • • • • • • • • • • • • •

400g lean minced beef 2 tbsp fresh chopped basil 1 tsp dried oregano 1 onion, peeled and finely chopped 2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed Salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 tbsp virgin olive oil 500g carton passatta (sieved tomatoes) 2 tbsp sun-dried tomato paste 1 tsp sugar 400g spaghetti Freshly grated Parmesan, to serve Fresh basil sprigs, to garnish

TIP

Give the meatballs extra flavour by adding some chopped black olives, 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese or 2 tsp drained and rinsed baby capers. Page 42

Put the mince, basil and oregano into a food processor or blender with half the chopped onion and half the crushed garlic. Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper, then process until almost smooth. Divide and shape the mince mixture into about 28 small meatballs. Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, turning frequently until browned all over. Remove the meatballs from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add the rest of the onion and garlic to the pan and fry for 5 minutes. Pour in the passatta and add the sundried tomato paste and sugar. Bring to the boil. Return the meatballs to the pan and stir in 150ml water. Simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, adding a little more water if necessary. Season to taste. Cook the spaghetti in a large pan of lightly salted water for 12 to 14 minutes or according to the packet instructions. Drain well. Serve the meatballs and sauce with the spaghetti and top with grated Parmesan. Garnish with fresh basil sprigs.
