Cooking Steps

Get prepped
1

• Finely chop garlic. Roughly chop silverbeet.
• In a medium bowl, combine pork mince, fine breadcrumbs, garlic & herb seasoning, the egg and a pinch of salt and pepper.
• Using damp hands, roll heaped spoonfuls of pork mixture into small meatballs (4-5 per person). Transfer to a plate.

Cook the meatballs
2

• In a large saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add meatballs, turning, until browned and cooked through, 8-10 minutes.
• Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.

Cook the risoni
3

• Wash out saucepan. Half-fill the large saucepan with water, add a generous pinch of salt, then bring to the boil over high heat.
• Cook risoni in boiling water until ‘al dente’, 7-8 minutes. Drain risoni.
• Return saucepan to medium heat with the butter. Add silverbeet and cook until tender, 2-3 minutes.
• Add the garlic and cook, until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Return risoni to the pan, add the light cooking cream, vegetable stock pot, and basil pesto and cook until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. Season to taste.

Finish & serve
