Meatballs & Whisky Sauce

[AndyAudi]

Purchased some Beef Meatballs the other night with the intention of doing them with a tomato & onion sauce + pasta.

However on returning home I discovered I had no tomatoes, tinned or otherwise.

The decision was made to fry the meatballs and add chopped onions/mushrooms to the pan.
Then a good slug of whisky from the cupboard & stir in a carton of cream from the fridge + a good bit of seasoning.

Result was pretty damn good and we'll be having it again.

I don't get it, what's wrong with whiskey in a cupboard?

It was sarcastic. Whisky goes in the drinks cabinet.

I think this is known as a 'Tramps Stew'..

I don't think tramps have drinks cabinets.

Or cupboards.

Did you flambe the whisky or just boil the alcohol off?

Just boiled off the alcohol.

re the whole cupboard / cabinet thing.
It is in the cupboard as it is not a whisky I would have on display or offer a guest to drink.
One could class it as "Cooking Whisky" as it gets brought out for toddies and the like.

(Don't know why I felt the need to tell all where it come from in the first place)

Because you wouldn't want to appear to be a peasant in front of the PH hordes.
