Pork And Lemon Meatballs

Recipe Ingredients

1 lb	454g / 16oz	Lean minced pork
1 3/4 oz	49g	White breadcrumbs
1 3/4 oz	49g	Freshly grated parmesan cheese
		Finely grated zest of one lemon
1 tablespoon	15ml	Lemon juice
1		Egg
		Handful of chopped, fresh parsley
4 tablespoons	60ml	Oil for frying

Recipe Instructions

Put all the ingredients except the oil into a food processor and whizz to make a fine paste. If the mixture seems too dry add a little extra lemon juice. Put in the fridge for 5 minutes to rest.

Heat the oil in a frying pan. Roll the mixture into small balls about 4cm in diameter, flatten them slightly and then fry them in the hot oil until golden brown on both sides (takes about 15 minutes).

They are delicious served with spaghetti and an easy tomato sauce. Make the tomato sauce by frying half a small onion (chopped) in one tablespoon of olive oil and then adding a 400g can of tomatoes. Season and cook for 10 minutes in order that it thickens. You can also add a few torn basil leaves to the sauce if you wish. Alternatively serve with new potatoes and a salad.
