Basic beef meatballs

Step 1

Combine breadcrumbs and milk and leave to swell.

Step 2

Lightly beat the egg until liquid.

Step 3

Combine the mince, onion and garlic and mix well.

Step 4

Add the breadcrumb mix and beaten egg to the mince. Add the stock powder and chopped fresh herbs. Mix well until thoroughly combined.

Step 5

Roll mixture into even-sized balls (makes about 24). Cover and chill until ready to cook.

Step 6

Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Cook meatballs on all sides over a medium-low heat until cooked through and golden brown. You may have to do this in batches.

Step 7

Grind over some pepper, garnish with herbs and serve. They’re great in tacos, wraps or in a sub.
