Ingredients

Pork and sage meatballs with cabbage and pear

Method

1.

Combine NZ Pork, breadcrumbs, egg white, rind, allspice, onion, chopped sage and parsley in a medium bowl; mix well. Form mixture into six balls. Place on a tray; cover, refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm.

2.

Heat half the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over low heat; cook meatballs, turning, for 8 minutes or until browned and cooked through. Transfer to a clean tray; cover with foil to keep warm.

3.

Heat remaining oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat; cook leek, stirring, for 3 minutes. Add pear and broccolini; cook, turning occasionally, for 3 minutes. Add cabbage, caraway, sage leaves and sultanas; cook, stirring, for 3 minutes or until just tender.

4.

Serve vegetables with meatballs.

You could double the meatball recipe to serve 4 or freeze a batch for another meal. Meatballs will freeze for up to 3 months; thaw overnight in the fridge before cooking.
