For pork meatballs with some Mediterranean vibes, lace them with our rich herb seasoning. Then add an extra layer of flavour by coating them in our apricot sauce before serving over a simple and textural salad to balance out the richness. Don't forget the drizzle of creamy pesto dressing to tie everything together.
We’ve replaced the onion chutney in this recipe with apricot sauce due to local ingredient availability. It’ll be just as delicious, just follow your recipe card!
