Beef Meatballs need not boring

Now some people might think that meatballs are boring. My husband certainly used to think that. In fact anything mince he would turn up his nose. But, I have converted him as I think I will you. If you have children get them involved in making these great treats.

Your resulting meatballs with be light and tender on the inside.

Meatballs are versatile, make them any size you want and serve them as nibbles or add
Napolitana Sauce to them and serve them with spaghetti and a little shaved parmeson cheese.

Please do not use blended vegetable oil for frying. There is no knowing what is in it. Use either rice bran oil, peanut oil or sunflower oil.

Ingredients:
500g beef mince
1 1/4 tsp mixed herbs
1 egg lightly beaten
1 cup of fresh breadcrumbs or 3/4 cup of packaged bread crumbs
1 onion grated (or use a processor)
Plain flour seasoned with salt and pepper
Sunflower oil for shallow frying


Method:
1. In a large bowl add all the ingredients
2. Mix well with your hands
3. Add about 1/4 cup flour to a small bowl (topping it up if need be)
4. Heat enough oil in a fry pan to shallow fry
5. Make meatballs to your desired size, I recommend teaspoon full is good
6. Roll the meatballs gently in the flour then drop into the hot oil
7. Turn meatballs until brown all over and place on a tray

That is it. You can freeze these as well so don't be afraid to make extra.
