Instructions
Hopefully you have made your Tomato Sauce
In a large bowl, mix the pork mince with the beef mince, I use a knife or spoon
When combined, add Dried Oregano, minced Garlic, Salt & Black Pepper and egg - mix really well
Then using your hands take small amounts of the mix and roll into balls, (mine were about half the size of a golf ball) You should make 22-26 Meatballs depending on the size.
Carry on until all the mix is used. I then open freeze those I don't need, what I mean by this is in a dish as the picture - once frozen bag up into portions.
For the meatballs you want to eat now then take a non stick frying pan and fry (you can use Fry Light if you like but you don't actually need it) on a high heat your meatballs in batches. (I would say the maximum is 8 in a medium sized pan)
Turn the meatballs frequently to brown all over, approx 10 minutes, do this in Batches.
Turn down the heat and fry for a further 5 minutes
Once cooked tip over your prepared tomato sauce and let them simmer over a low heat for 5 minutes
Finally add your pasta (if using) and a handful of torn basil leaves.
Stir and you're done! (If you have a healthyA left you can sprinkle with cheese) If your not serving with pasta, then just add your Basil leaves and serve accordingly Enjoy!
