Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle.
• 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.
• While the meatballs are cooking, 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 bring to
the boil.
• Add couscous and stir to combine. Cover with a
lid and remove from heat.
• Set aside until water is absorbed, 5 minutes.
Fluff up with a fork.
• When the meatballs are done, return frying pan
to medium-high heat. Cook celery, onion and
courgette, tossing, until tender, 5-7 minutes.
• Add garlic & herb seasoning, a pinch of
chilli flakes (if using), tomato paste and the
remaining garlic and cook until fragrant,
1-2 minutes.
• Return meatballs to the pan, then add the
water (for the sauce), 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.
• Sprinkle over parsley to serve. Enjoy!
