METHOD FOR PORK MEATBALLS

Soak the bread in a bowl with the milk for a minimum of 10 mins. Squeeze the bread and chop it finely. Add the chopped bread back into the milk.

Place the mince and all other ingredients into a large bowl apart from the nutmeg, tomatoes & basil.

Add the soaked bread and milk to the mince, add a grate of nutmeg. Knead until well combined

Shape the mixture into 3.5cm balls

Heat a large pan to accommodate all the meatballs, add enough sunflower oil to cover the pan and place over a medium heat.

Saute the meatballs until brown all over, remove from the pan and set aside.

Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan and place back onto the heat. Bring to a slow simmer, add the basil and meatballs back into the sauce.

Cover with a lid and simmer for approx. 25mins

Enjoy!
