Pork Meatballs with Tomatoes
Homemade pork meatballs paired with tomatoes will quickly become a household favorite.
Prep Time: 30M
Cooking Time: 1H
Serves: Serves 6-8
Ingredients:
- 3 large onions, finely diced
- 21/4lb (1kg) lean ground pork
- handful of flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
- 2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 2 tsp dried thyme
- 2 eggs
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 12 large beefsteak tomatoes
- 6 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp dried oregano
Directions:
- Put the onions, ground pork, parsley, cayenne, thyme, eggs, and flour in a mixing bowl, season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper, then mix together with your hands for 5 minutes, or until you have a chunky paste. Chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to firm the mixture a little. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Take handfuls of the mixture and roll into balls about 2in (5cm) in diameter, making approximately 24 balls. Place them in a large non-stick baking pan. Cut the tomatoes in half and place them skin-side down with the meatballs, so each meatball is in between tomatoes. Drizzle with the oil, sprinkle with the oregano, then cover the tray with foil.
- Bake for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and cook for another 30 minutes, or until nicely browned. Serve with crusty bread and salad.
