Apple & Pork Meatballs

22/11/2015 By Caralee Leave a Comment

These meatballs are delicious! They are sweet because of the apple and slightly zingy because of the chilli. The chilli is optional, so if your family doesn’t enjoy a little bit of spice you can leave it out. I make these as a main meal and I serve them with veggies but these are also great as a snack or canape.

They are lovely with a dipping sauce such as guacamole, home-made tomato sauce or a Asian style dipping sauce.

  6. Be careful not to over crowd the pan and do a couple of separate batches.
  7. Gently turn the meat balls individually in the pan until they are brown and cooked through. You will be able to see that they are cooked because the apple will start to caramelise in the pan and they will look and smell delishimo!
  8. Serve with your favourite dipping sauce and a side of steamed vegetables or on a bed of cauliflower mash.
