Savory pork mince meatballs with a festive twist, drizzled in a sweet maple glaze. Perfect for a quick and light dinner any time of the year.
Ingredients:
  • 500g pork mince
  • 3 tsp finely grated orange rind
  • 25g (1/4 cup) dried breadcrumbs
  • 2 tsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 35g (1/3 cup) flaked almonds, plus extra, toasted, to serve
  • 200ml fresh orange juice (about 2 large oranges)
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) pure maple syrup
  • 40.00 ml balsamic vinegar
  • 3 fresh thyme sprigs
  • 350g pkt kaleslaw mix
  • 500.00 ml baby spinach
Instructions:
  • Combine the mince, orange rind, breadcrumbs, egg, thyme leaves, half of the almonds, and half of the garlic in a large bowl. Season generously and mix thoroughly. Roll 1 tablespoon of the mixture into a ball, then repeat with the rest of the mixture.
  • In a large frying pan, heat half of the oil over medium heat. Cook the meatballs, turning occasionally, for 6-8 minutes until fully cooked. Then, transfer them to a plate.
  • Add the rest of the garlic to the pan and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the orange juice, maple syrup, 1 1/2 tbsp vinegar, and thyme sprigs. Let it simmer for 1 minute, then season to taste. Add the meatballs and remaining almonds back to the pan, tossing to coat them in the sauce.
  • Drizzle the kaleslaw mix and spinach with the remaining olive oil and vinegar, season, toss to combine, and divide among serving plates. Serve with the meatballs and sprinkle with toasted almonds before serving.
