Herb meatballs

Everyone loves a good meatball. You know you love it when they come round on the platter, with a delicious bowl of tomato salsa to dip into. This recipe is great, but what’s even better is that you can use pretty much anything to flavour the basic recipe. I have chosen to use a few simple herbs  here, but just about anything will be good. Try out a few different herbs and spices and you’ll be having them all the time!

750g mince beef
1 onion, finely diced
1 egg
2 garlic cloves
1 tbspn worchestershire sauce
1 tbspn tomato paste
Good seasoning of salt and pepper
½ tspn chilli power/Moroccan seasoning
½ cup breadcrumbs (or enough so that it makes a solid meatball, not too sticky.

Roll into bite-sized meatballs, and then cook in batches in a lightly greased non-stick pan. If you have the time prior to cooking, it’s good to whack these in the fridge when they’re rolled before cooking, it helps them to set and makes them a bit more solid while cooking.
