CARROT MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Prepare all ingrediatns as listed above and mix well. I prefer using my stand-mixer with the open paddle-blade.
• Form into 1/8 cup meatballs and place in a baking pan, preferably a broiler pan, especially if using a higher-fat content meat. (I use an 1/8 cup measuring spoon and pack the meat into it on the side of the bowl, then use another spoon to pull it out and form the balls a little better on the pan--quicker than trying to do it by hand and less messy!).
• Bake at 350* for 15-20 minutes. (The cook book suggested frying them, and serving with a brown gravy, but baking is healthier, and the gravy only covers the great flavor!).

SAUCY MEATBALL & CARROT BAKE WITH CRISPY FETA CRUMBS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Mix the pork, 50g of the breadcrumbs, caraway seeds, egg and half the cumin with 2 tsp salt and lots of pepper. Roll into about 30 meatballs and put into a large non-stick roasting tin. Put the carrots into another roasting tin. Split the oil between the two, and gently toss to coat. Roast for 30-40 mins, shaking the tins halfway (and swapping between shelves if you need to), until golden and cooked through.
• Meanwhile, fry the onion, ginger and remaining cumin in a drop more oil for a few mins in a large pan, stirring constantly. Stir in the passata, chopped tomatoes, sugar and some seasoning, then simmer for 15 mins.
• Divide the meatballs and carrots between baking dishes or tins and spoon over the tomato sauce. Mix the remaining breadcrumbs with the feta, parsley and some seasoning. Set aside any portions for freezing now, and sprinkle feta crumbs over any portions to be cooked immediately.
• To eat now, reduce the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and bake for 20 mins until crumbs are golden and everything is piping hot. Or follow the tips for freezing below, then defrost portions, finish assembling and bake at 180C/160C fan/gas 4 for 30-50 mins until everything is piping hot and bubbling - the cooking time will depend a bit on the portion size you are baking.
