meatballs

🥗Healthier: turkey meatballs

💰Cheaper: beef meatballs

Turkey meatballs are lower in fat.

Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius.

Mix 1 kg of grass-fed beef and minced pork shoulder together with grated potato, salt, and pepper until well combined.

Roll the mixture into squash ball-sized portions, leaving some meat for later.

Drizzle the meatballs with olive oil and place them in the oven to cook for 20-25 minutes until golden.

In a skillet, add remaining minced pork and beef with a splash of olive oil over high heat, breaking it up to brown.

Chop one bowl of fennel and add it to the skillet as the meat browns.

Add two finely chopped red onions to the skillet and cook until softened.

Stir in a heaped tablespoon of flour to thicken the mixture.

Deglaze the pan with port-a-beer, scraping the bottom to incorporate the flavors.

Add English mustard, ketchup, brown sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and mango chutney to the mixture.

Pour in 1 liter of chicken stock and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 20 minutes.

Once the meatballs are cooked, pour the gravy over them and add whole sprigs of rosemary.

Sprinkle 100 grams of Red Leicester cheese over the top and serve in a warmed sub roll with watercress.
