Dinner tonight..

Sharing my Monday menu with you, hopefully it inspires something welcoming, wintry and warm. I find pork mince so much more tasty than that of beef mince, give these a go --- if you have children they "should" also enjoy.


Pork meatballs with sweet potato ribbons
Preparation Time 15 minutes
Cooking Time 15 minutes

Ingredients (serves 4)
550g lean pork mince
2 tablespoons barbecue sauce
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1/3 cup finely grated low-fat mozzarella
1 cup baby spinach leaves
300g sweet potato, peeled
2 tsp Dijon mustard
Method
Preheat oven to 210°C. Place spinach in a heatproof bowl and cover with boiling water. Set aside for 2 minutes, then rinse under cold water. Drain and squeeze out as much excess water as possible. Chop spinach.
Place spinach in a bowl with the mince, breadcrumbs, barbecue sauce, mustard, salt and pepper, and cheese. Mix until combined. Roll spoonfuls of mixture into walnut-size balls. Place on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Bake meatballs for 15 minutes or until cooked through.
Meanwhile, cut the sweet potato into ribbons using a vegetable peeler. Scatter over a baking tray lined with baking paper and spray with olive oil spray. Cook for 10 minutes or until golden. Serve meatballs on baked sweet potato ribbons.
