Healthy Meatballs

I’m usually against improvising in the kitchen, but there are things which can be altered in a ‘traditional’ recipe. This is healthier because the meatballs are not fried in oil, but cooked in the oven, using a non-stick baking paper. Again, if you really like a certain ingredient you can add extra: i.e. meat, onion, etc. I personally put lots of dill, because it gives a nice flavour. This is the way I make my meatballs:

• Ready In: 1 hr 10 mins
• Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

• 800  g  minced meat (mixed beef and or or pork and or or lamb)
• 1  big onion, diced
• 3  garlic cloves, smashed
• 1  egg
• 70  g tomato puree

• Various herbs

•  dill, parsley, cayenne pepper, curry powder
•  salt and pepper

Directions

1. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl.
2. Make small ovals using your hands, slightly wet.
3. Put them on non-stick baking paper in a pre-heater oven at 180 minutes for 40 minutes or until they look crispy.
4. Serve with salad, flat bread or pita bread, mustard.
