•Large Non-Stick Pan
•Medium Saucepan
- Trim green beans.
- Finely chop garlic.
- In a medium bowl, combine pork mince, garlic & herb seasoning, fine breadcrumbs and the egg.
- Using damp hands, roll heaped spoonfuls of mixture into small meatballs. Transfer to a plate. You should get 4-5 meatballs per person.
Little cooks: Join the fun by helping combine the
ingredients and shaping the mixture into meatballs! Make sure to wash your hands well afterwards.
- In a large frying pan, heat a generous drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add meatballs, turning, until browned and cooked through, 8-10 minutes (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded).
- Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
- Add tomato sugo and a splash of water. Gently stir to combine and simmer until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes.
- While the meatballs are cooking, add green beans and a splash of water to a microwave-safe bowl, then cover with a damp paper towel.
- Microwave green beans on high until just tender, 2-4 minutes. Drain green beans, then return to the bowl and cover to keep warm.
- Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine the water, milk and salt and bring to the boil over
high heat.
- Reduce heat to medium and slowly whisk in polenta, then cook, stirring, until smooth and thickened, 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from heat, then add Parmesan cheese, the butter and a pinch of pepper, stirring until melted.
- In a second medium bowl, add rocket leaves and a drizzle of vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Toss to combine.
- Divide Parmesan polenta between bowls.
- Top with steamed green beans, pork meatballs and rocket.
- Spoon any remaining sugo over the meatballs to serve. Enjoy!
