Hidden Veg Beef Meatballs
Temp 200°C
Time 15-20 min
Serves 6
Beef-pork meatballs with grated courgette, mushrooms, and onion, topped with melted mozzarella.
Ingredients
- • 250 g (8.8 oz) pork mince
- • 500 g (17.5 oz) lean minced beef
- • 1 small grated courgette/zucchini
- • 4 mushrooms, finely chopped
- • 4 tbsp freshly grated parmesan
- • 1 small onion, finely chopped
- • 1 tbsp chopped parsley
- • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- • 1 egg
- • 1 egg yolk
- • ¼ tsp salt and pepper
Instructions
- 1 Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F (fan).
- 2 Mix all of the meatball ingredients in a bowl with your hands. Don't overmix as this will make the meatballs tough. Shape the meatballs into golf ball-sized balls and place on a baking tray.
- 3 Cook in the oven for about 20-25 minutes until cooked through and golden. (Alternatively, air fry at 200°C/400°F for 12-15 minutes.)
- 4 Serve with tomato sauce and pasta, garnished with grated parmesan and parsley.
