Serves: 4

Shopping & Ingredients List:

300g Extra Lean Pork Mince

3 Garlic Cloves, crushed

1 tsp Ground Cumin

1 tsp Ground Coriander

1 tsp Ground Nutmeg

1 tsp Ground Cinnamon

Salt & Pepper to season

1 tsp Olive Oil

Sauce

1 small Onion, finely diced

1 Garlic Clove, crushed

400g can Chopped Tomatoes with Garlic

1 tsp Clear Honey

1 tsp Sweet Paprika

1 tsp Olive Oil

Method

1. Put the mince, garlic & spices in a bowl & mix until well combined. Season & mix again. Cover & chill in the fridge for an hour.

2. Meanwhile make the sauce. Using a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over a medium-high heat then add the onions & garlic. Cook, stirring for 5-6 minutes. Add splashes of water if required to stop the onions & garlic from sticking to the pan & burning. 

3. Add the tomatoes, honey & sweet paprika to the saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer by lowering the heat & then simmer for 20-30 minutes stirring occasionally.

4. When the meat has chilled, roll into small meatballs, about the size of a walnut. Using a large non-stick frying pan, heat the olive oil over a medium-high heat then add the meatballs in batches, frying each batch over for 3-4 minutes.

5. Add the meatballs to the tomato sauce & continue to simmer gently for 8-10 minutes. Serve immediately.
