Pork and Sage Meatballs

Today I thought I'd share with you the all-time bestsest crowd pleasing dinner out of all the clean eating recipes in the Kinsman household.

It's Pork Meatballs!!!!

OK, so I know it doesn't sound very rockstar, but trust me, this one goes down a storm in my house. It even gets a fist pump from my youngest son George when he knows it's cooking.
I know, right?
So what's so awesome about it then?
The star of this dish is the sage, which I absolutely adore. I put loads of it in when I'm making these meatballs because I just love it so much.
Pork mince is great to cook with when you're feeding a family because it's cheap.
And this recipe is really so quick and easy to prepare it can be done and dusted within 30 minutes!
It's such a perfect dinner for a busy family when you're pressed for time.

Unsurprisingly this gets cooked every week without fail. We enjoy ours with sautéed cabbage and leeks and jacket potatoes (just make it a small one and be careful not to load up your potato with lots of butter and cheese!)
I hope your family enjoy this as much as mine do!

 

Pork and Sage Meatballs (serves 4)

500g 5% fat pork mince
A large handful of fresh sage, chopped
100g spinach
100g feta cheese
1 tsp onion granules
1 egg, beaten
Salt and pepper to taste

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C
2. Spray a baking sheet with low calorie spray oil.
3. Put the spinach in a covered microwavable bowl and microwave for 1 minute. Leave to cool then squeeze out some of the liquid (but not all, you'll need some to keep the meatballs moist during cooking) and then chop the spinach up.
4. Put all of the ingredients into a large bowl and combine together using your hands.
5. Form even sized balls with the mixture and place onto the baking sheet. You should get about 12 meatballs in total.
6. Bake for 15 - 20 minutes or until they're no longer pink in the middle.

Yummy!
