Cooking Steps

Bake the meatballs
1

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced.
• In a medium bowl, combine pork mince, Parmesan cheese, 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.


Little cooks: Join the fun by helping combine the ingredients and shaping the 
mixture into meatballs! Make sure to wash your hands well afterwards. 

Prep the ciabatta & finish the meatballs
2

• While the meatballs are baking, slice bake-at-home ciabatta in half lengthways.
• In a microwave-safe bowl, combine half the butter and half the garlic paste. Microwave in 10 second bursts or until melted. Season with salt. 
• Brush garlic butter over the cut sides of ciabatta.
• Remove meatballs from oven, then add passata, stock concentrate, the brown sugar and remaining garlic paste and butter. Turn meatballs to coat, sprinkle 
over shredded mozzarella, then bake until sauce is slightly thickened, a further 8-10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place ciabatta directly on an oven rack and bake until golden,  6-7 minutes. 

Make the salad
3

• While the meatballs are in the oven, halve snacking tomatoes.
• Grate carrot.
• In a second medium bowl, combine mixed salad leaves, tomatoes, carrot and a drizzle of vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.


Little cooks: Take the lead by tossing the salad!  

Finish & serve

• Divide baked cheesy pork meatballs between bowls.
