Pork mince

tokokkk, Feb 29, 9:09pm
Would anybody have an easy recipe for meatballs using pork mince. I have never used it before but the price was so good I just had to get some. Ive heard that the recipe MIke King had for pork balls is nice but I cant find it anywhere. All I remember on his tv add was he put sweet chilli sauce in it. TIA.

I just googled 'pork meatballs' and pork recipes and came up with loads when I did the same thing.But have also just added some cajun seasoning, rolled into balls, and cooked in a little oil.I made them pretty small and they cooked really quickly.Served with mash potatoes and a salad.

I normally just add to the pork mince, crushed pineapple, chilli sauce, parsley/chives, sometimes chopped spring onion, season, roll into small balls (no egg needed to bind), I prefer to bake them, and served with a sweet chilli sauce, yum.

If you enjoy Asian flavours try this:

Pork & Coconut Balls
Makes about 30
• 500g minced free range pork
• 1 shallot (or 1/2 small red onion) finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic very finely chopped
• 2T fish sauce
• 2 rounded T desiccated coconut
• A few grinds of black or white pepper
• 1T peanut oil for frying

• Make the balls by combining all ingredients and mixing very thoroughly with your hands (disposable gloves are a good idea) and forming into bite size balls.  
• If making for a lunch or main course don't make them any bigger as the interior won't cook through before they burn.
• If you have time cover and refrigerate a few hours to firm up.
• Fry in a little oil over medium heat, shaking often to cook evenly.  
• Watch carefully as they won't take long and will burn readily.  
• Drain on paper towels, serve hot, warm or cold with dipping sauce.  
If you serve them as a meal, also serve a large undressed salad of soft lettuce and Asian herbs as available e.g. mint, coriander, Thai basil, dill, Vietnamese mint.


Dipping Sauce
1 clove garlic
2-3 fresh red chillies (not super-hot ones)
4-5T fish sauce
-
5T fresh lime juice

1T palm sugar

• Using  a mortar and pestle or mini-blender pulverize the garlic, chilli and palm sugar 4 tab each of fish sauce and lime juice and combine well.  
• Taste and correct balance if necessary to make a tart, salty sauce with just a trace of sweetness.
