Cooking Steps

Get prepped
1

• Boil the kettle.
• Finely chop celery, onion (see ingredients) and garlic.
• 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.  

Cook the meatballs
2

• 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. 

Make the couscous
3

• 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. 

Cook the veggies
4

• 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. 

Bring it all together
5

• 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 spinach leaves until wilted. 

Finish & serve
6

• Divide garlicky couscous between bowls.
