Skewered pork balls
600g pork mince
1 small onion, very finely diced
2 tbsp chopped fresh sage, oregano or parsley
1 tsp curry powder
1/2 cup fresh breadcrumbs
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Sweet chilli sauce
1. Preheat oven to 200°C. Mix the pork mince, onion, herbs, curry powder and breadcrumbs together in a bowl and season well with salt and pepper.
2. With damp hands, shape pork mixture into 24 balls.
3. Place meatballs in a roasting dish and cook for 25 to 30 minutes, shaking the pan or turning regularly until meatballs are browned all over and cooked through. Remove pan from the oven and transfer pork balls onto paper towels to drain off any excess fat.
4. Thread three pork balls onto each skewer.
5. Serve on a bed of salad greens with sweet chilli sauce on the side.
