These spicy meatballs are full of Moroccan flavour. They shouldn’t be too spicy, but tone down the curry powder if you’re worried about the sensitive palettes of little ones. 

Serves: 4 (with leftovers suitable for freezing)

Cooking Time: 20 minutes<

What You’ll Need:

  • 1lb (450 – 500g) minced pork
  • 2oz (50g) bread or cracker crumbs
  • 2oz (50g) flour (plain or wholemeal)
  • 1tbsp curry powder
  • 1 tbsp  cumin
  • Mixed herbs
  • Black pepper

What To Do:

  1. Put the meat in a large bowl with the crumbs and about half the amount of curry powder and cumin; season with pepper and herbs, then squish everything together with your hand.
  2. Sift the flour and the rest of the spices onto a large dinner plate.
  3. Roll the meat mixture into balls, dusting with the seasoned flour.  Bake on a lightly oiled tray at 190C / gas mark 5 for about 20 minutes.
  4. Serve with pasta and fresh tomato sauce.
