Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle. • Thinly slice leek. Cut lemon into wedges. • In a medium bowl, combine pork mince, fine breadcrumbs, the egg, garlic & herb seasoning and a pinch of pepper. Using damp hands, roll heaped spoonfuls of mixture into small meatballs (4-5 per person). Transfer to a plate.
• In a large frying pan, heat a generous drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook meatballs, turning, until browned and cooked through, 8-10 minutes (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). Transfer to a plate. • Meanwhile, pour boiled water into a large saucepan over high heat with a pinch of salt. • Add risoni to the boiling water and cook until ‘al dente’, 7-8 minutes. • Reserve pasta water(1/2 cup for 2 people / 1 cup for 4 people). Drain risoni, then return to saucepan.
• Wipe out and return frying pan to medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook soffritto mix and leek, stirring, until softened, 6-8 minutes. • Add cream (see ingredients), chicken-style stock powder, a squeeze of lemon juice and reserved pasta water(1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people), and simmer until thickened, 1-2 minutes. • Remove from heat, return meatballs to the pan, add risoni and stir to combine. Season with pepper.
• In a medium bowl, combine rocket leaves and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste. • Divide creamy pork meatball risoni between bowls. • Serve with balsamic rocket. Enjoy!
