Anyone Want To Know How My First Try At Pork Meatballs Went?

Ooh, I was going to ask you. How did they go? Did you put the Paxo in?

[Countrylover]

Yes

were they the Dogs Bo****s ?

They were lovely! I put in quarter of a packet of Paxo in the mix and it really enhanced the pork flavour. I forgot to add salt and pepper but it didn't matter. 

Having sealed the top and bottom of each one, I then put them in the oven for 35 minutes. I made 12 in all and we had four each. Too many for me. I had two more today cold, as sandwiches. Really, really nice.

 

Thanks to all of you who gave me advice. They were a bit of mix and match from eveyones suggestions. I think the addition of a squirt of tomato puree, as suggested by Pasta, added another level to the taste. A plain tomato sauce and some tagliatelle went beautifully with them.

I shall certainly make them again.

I was wondering if you made them, and how, glad they were a success. It's made me want to make some to have the Swedish way, you reminded me how much we both enjoyed them 😋

Johnny...close.

I must admit we use frozen Swedish Meatballs usually with pasta and a roasted Mediterranean  veggie sauce

Hubby now busy making cottage pie.  His cooking is getting better in leaps and bounds and he's getting quite adventurous

As long as you enjoy them, Lottie, it doesn't matter.

I'm amazed to discover cottage pie is adventurous 😀

Pleased they came out well.

I just love meatballs. I usually make enough to freeze some, and have several variations in the freezer.

My latest fave are made with chicken mince.

Canary.  I didn't say the cottage pie was adventurous.  I said his cooking is getting adventurous.

Pardon my non sequitur  😄

[Countrylover]

You are forgiven Canary 😄
