Cooking Steps
• Finely chop celery, onion (see ingredients) and garlic. Roughly chop parsley. Thinly slice courgette into half-moons. • In a medium bowl, combine pork mince, Nan's special seasoning, fine breadcrumbs and the egg. • Using damp hands, roll heaped spoonfuls of pork 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, heat a medium saucepan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook half the garlic until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the water (for the couscous) and a pinch of salt, then bring to the boil. Add couscous and stir to combine. • Cover with a lid and remove from heat. Set aside until the water has absorbed, 5 minutes. Fluff up with a fork.
• Return frying pan to medium-high heat. Cook celery, onion and courgette and until tender, 5-7 minutes. • Add garlic & herb seasoning, a pinch of chilli flakes (if using), tomato paste and remaining garlic, and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
• Return meatballs to pan, add the water (for the sauce), the brown sugar and butter and simmer, stirring, until slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes. Stir in baby leaves until wilted.
• Divide garlicky couscous between bowls. • Top with saucy Spanish-style pork meatballs. • Tear over parsley to serve. Enjoy!
