Kitchen Trails - Meatballs




Made some meatballs today. This can go with pasta, noodle soup, braised in some sauce as a dish to go with rice, anything that you can think of, really.

I made this with lean, weight watcher's minced beef, and oat flour instead of bread crumbs for a healthier option.

200g minced meat

1/4 cup oat crumbs, I blitzed some organic rolled oats 

1 egg

1/2 a small carrot, blitzed into fine bits

A handful of spinach, blitzed or finely chopped

1 Tablespoon of parmesan cheese

Garlic powder

Onion powder

A dash of black pepper

A pinch of himalayan salt

A glug of olive oil


Mix all the ingredients together and chill in the fridge for an hour or so. Shape into balls.

Heat up a pan and add the olive oil. Add the meat balls in batches so it doesn't get crowded in the pan. Cook for 4 minutes or so, and then turn the balls around, cook a bit further and remove from pan

I did one step further, I didn't want to brown the meat balls too much in case it got burnt. I covered them in baking/cooking paper and bunged them into the oven to cook for another 10-15 minutes so that the inside is thoroughly cooked as well
