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 drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
• Cook diced bacon, breaking up with a spoon, until golden, 4-6 minutes. Transfer to bowl. • Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. 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 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.
