Marinated "Meatballs"

Prep time:    10 minutes

Cook time:   ~ 1 hour

Cost:             $ 9

Makes:         4 servings

You can add whatever spices and vegetables you want to this dish. It only takes about 10 minutes to put together and then can be put in the oven and left until cooked.

I used orzo because it was what I had available, but you can also make this dish with rice. I based the costs roughly on Market on Yates, and you will have left over vegetarian/fake meatballs (which can be found in the frozen food section).
