Pork meatballs



Morrisons have 650g pork mince half price at £1.49 at the moment. One pack has made two family meals worth of meatballs, so 75p per meal. Or 18p per person!!! 

650g pork mince
half a carrot - grated
half a courgette - grated
half an onion - fine chopped
1 clove garlic  - fine grated
pinch herbs
pinch salt and pepper
1 chilli
1 thick slice bread - made into breadcrumbs




Fry the onions and garlic until soft and add grated carrot and courgette and fry until soft.



Meanwhile, add seasoning and breadcrumbs to your pork mince in a bowl.



Add your grated carrot, onion and courgette.



With clean hands, your going to squish and mash the lot into a sausage meat type texture mix.




Roll into meatballs. I tried frying them, but they were catching on the an and breaking up too much. Ive found baking them much more succesful. It also lets any fat/water leak out and leaves very lean meatballs.



You could just throw them into some sauce raw and simmer them. Or freeze them raw. Im not to careful about squishing them into the freezer or fridge so find by pre-cooking them before freezing it stops them from losing their shape, and its so easy to chuck some cooked meatballs into a simmering pot of tomato sauce for an easy lazy meal.
