One-Pan Saucy Baked Pork Meatballs
with Chilli Panini, Extra Parmesan Cheese & Cucumber Salad
Take the hassle out of meatballs by baking them and the rich tomato sauce in the oven. They’ll get toasty and warm, ready to serve with a sprinkling of Parmesan that will be sure to melt on top. We wouldn’t want a single bit to go to waste so mop it up with a slice of garlic bread-style panini.

Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • In a medium bowl, combine pork mince, Aussie spice blend, fine breadcrumbs and the egg. • Using damp hands, roll heaped spoonfuls of pork mixture into small meatballs (4-5 per person). • Transfer meatballs to a baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and turn to coat. Bake until browned, 15-20 minutes.

• While the meatballs are baking, slice wholemeal panini into quarters. • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine half the butter and a pinch of chilli flakes (if using). Microwave in 10 second bursts or until melted. Season with salt. Brush chilli butter over the cut sides of the panini. • Remove meatballs from oven, then add chopped tomatoes (see ingredients), chicken-style stock powder(see ingredients), garlic paste, the brown sugar and remaining butter. • Turn meatballs to coat, then bake until sauce is slightly thickened, a further 8-10 minutes. • Meanwhile, place panini directly on a wire oven rack and bake until golden, 6-7 minutes.
• Slice cucumber into half-moons. Grate the carrot. • In a second medium bowl, combine mixed salad leaves, cucumber, carrot and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste.
• Divide oven-baked pork meatballs and garden salad between plates. • Top meatballs with grated Parmesan cheese. Serve with toasted chilli butter panini. Enjoy!
