Blended Meatballs

PREP TIME: 10 Min

COOK TIME: 5 Min

SERVES: 4

  • 500g 30/70 Meadow Mushrooms & beef mince blend
  • ½ onion, grated
  • 1 ½ cups / 75g fresh breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Method

  1. 1. If you are going to fry your meatballs, start with a 30/70 blend of mushrooms to mince or up the quantity of breadcrumbs to 2 cups per 200g as the mixture needs to be a bit stiffer for ease of frying.
  2. 2. Finely chop the mushrooms (or blitz in the blender) to replicate mince, then combine with mince, onion, breadcrumbs, egg, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper in a bowl mixing well with your hands.
  3. 3. Shape into golf ball sized balls. Recipe should make around 20.
  4. 4. To cook, you can either fry in a pan with olive oil for about 5 minutes, until cooked through. Or drop into a simmering sauce of your choice, for 5 minutes to poach, turning once.
