Southwestern Pork Meatballs

with Roast Potatoes & BBQ Sauce

We got inspired by our American friends and their use of smokey, sweet and spiced flavours in Southwestern meals. That’s why these meatballs are studded with corn and served with herbed wedges for a new take on dinner that will quickly become an instant classic.

Cooking Steps

Roast the potatoes
1

Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Slice the potatoes (unpeeled) into 1cm wedges. TIP: Cut the potatoes to the correct size so they cook in the allocated time. Place the potatoes and dried oregano on an oven tray lined with baking paper, drizzle with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and spread out evenly over the tray. Roast for 25-30 minutes or until tender.

Get prepped
2

While the potatoes are roasting, finely chop the garlic (or use a garlic press). Drain the sweetcorn. Finely chop the coriander. Cut the tomato into 0.5cm half-moons. Slice the cucumber into 0.5cm rounds.

Make the meatballs
3

In a medium bowl, combine the pork mince, fine breadcrumbs, egg, garlic, All-American spice blend (see ingredients list), 1/2 the sweetcorn, 1/2 the coriander, salt and a pinch of pepper. Take 1 tbs of mixture and shape into a small meatball. Set aside on a plate and repeat with remaining mixture. (You'll get 4-5 meatballs per person.)

Cook the meatballs
4

In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Once hot, add the meatballs and cook, turning regularly, for 4-5 minutes, or until browned. Reduce the heat to medium, add the remaining sweetcorn to the pan and cook, tossing occasionally, for a further 4-5 minutes until the meatballs are cooked through and the corn is golden.

Make the salad
5

While the meatballs are cooking, combine the balsamic vinegar, honey and olive oil (2 tsp for 2 people / 4 tsp for 4 people) in a medium bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the baby spinach leaves, tomato and cucumber to the bowl and toss to coat in the dressing. TIP: Toss the salad just before serving to keep the leaves crisp!

Serve up
6

Divide the potatoes, Southwestern pork meatballs and charred corn between plates. Serve with the BBQ sauce and salad on the side. Garnish the adult portions with coriander.
