- 500 grams pork mince
- 1 tbsp fennel seeds
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 small apple, green peeled and grated
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp Pepper
- 1 pinch chilli flakes
Ingredients
|
- Sautee garlic in olive oil on medium heat for 2-3 minutes or until translucent.
- In a big bowl, combine all ingredients, and mix thoroughly using your hands. Make sure to knead the mixture for a few minutes to work the protein in the meat which will bind everything together.
- Wet your hands and roll the meat mixture into balls - the size will depend on your taste – is it for a snack (100g) or a main meal (150g)? It’s up to you!
- Heat a large frying pan, lightly coated with oil (I like using coconut oil or ghee).
- Brown the first side of the meatballs on high heat, then bring the heat down to medium and fry for 3-4 minutes. Turn and fry the other side on medium/low heat for 5 minutes.
- Keep turning to make sure all sides look visibly cooked. Total cooking time should be about 12-13 minutes. Remove from the pan and let the meatballs rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Another method is to brown the meatballs for 2-3 minutes on each side and then finish cooking them in an oven for about 10 minutes at around 170C.
