Ingredients (makes approximately 42 meatballs)
- 500g beef mince
- 500g pork mince
- 150g black pudding
- 2 large onions, finely chopped
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 100g breadcrumbs
- 60g parmesan, finely grated
- 25g fresh parsley, washed and chopped
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp each of Maldon salt and freshly ground black pepper
Method
- Mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl. I prefer to do it by hand to ensure it’s properly combined.
- Use a 30ml measuring cup to divide the mixture into even portions, and roll in your hands to mold into shape. This should make approximately 42 meatballs.
- At this stage I part cook them and freeze them in batches so that we have easy ready meals in stock.
- Simply pan fry them for a few minutes on each side until they are browned, then add them to your favourite tomato based sauce to cook through and serve with pasta or mash.
