Recipe Information
Step by step guide to making Pork and apple meatballs
- In a large frying pan, heat the half tablespoon of olive oil and cook the onion for 5 minutes until soft.
- Transfer the onion to a large bowl, add the mince, apple sauce, sage and breadcrumbs.
- Season with freshly ground black pepper and mix together until well combined. Shape the mince mixture into 12 balls with your hands.
- Heat the remaining oil in the frying pan and fry the meatballs for 10 minutes, turning, until cooked through with no pink remaining.
- Remove from the pan, set aside and keep warm, meanwhile stir fry the cabbage for 2 minutes in the frying pan.
- Make the sauce: heat the soured cream in a small pan and stir through the cornflour mixture. Slowly add the beef stock and simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.
- Heat the mash to pack instructions while the sauce is thickening. Serve the mash with the meatballs, cabbage and cranberry sauce, then pour over the sauce.
Cook's tip: To make fresh breadcrumbs, whizz a couple of slices of bread in a food processor or blender. This is a great way of using up stale bread, as the breadcrumbs can be stashed in the freezer ready for whipping up meatballs, topping gratins, or coating meats and fish.
