Overall:

For my first ever attempt at making meatballs, I thought the results were pretty darn fantastic! The alterations I made to the recipe were:

  • using both pork and beef mince (to give the meatballs more moisture)
  • adding grated carrot, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper and chilli (chilli makes everything taste better)
  • substituting the basil with coriander (didn’t have any basil in the house)
  • baking the meatballs instead of pan frying them (less effort and is more healthy)

Very easy and very tasty. I will definitely be making these again soon!

Thoughts:

  • Additional ingredients I added were frozen veggies (corn/peas/carrot), mixed herbs, salt and pepper
  • I did not simmer the mince mixture for very long (as I was getting hungry) but found that as long as it was thickened, it was fine.

 

Overall:

A good recipe that holds quite well when serving.
