INGREDIENTS:
- 500g extra lean pork mince
- 1 large egg
- 200g breadcrumbs
- 5 sprinkles of fresh sage (2g)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Pinch of pepper
- 1 tbsp water
METHOD:
- Combine the pork mince, egg, breadcrumbs, sage and a pinch of pepper in a medium bowl. Add the 1 tablespoon water if required to the mixture if the mixture is too dry.
- Ensuring hands are damp, take 1 heaped tablespoon of mixture and shape in a small meatball. Set aside on a plate and repeat with the remaining mixture.
- Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Add the meatballs and cook, turning occasionally for 8-10 minutes, or until browned and cooked through.
- Serve with rice and cooked greens, such as spinach and broccolini, and enjoy!
RECIPE NOTES:
• Adjust the consistency of the meatballs as you go – if you notice they are a little dry, add extra water. Or if they are a little wet, add extra breadcrumbs.
• Substitute the pork mince for chicken mince, if you prefer.
• If you are uncertain about the taste of sage, you can trial a smaller amount to begin with.
