Servings 16 makes
INGREDIENTS
For the meat balls
- 500g Pure South Premium Lamb Mince
- 2 tbsp Oregano, chopped
- Avocado Cooking oil
- 1 cup Tomato Basil Passata
- ½ tsp Garlic salt
- 1 ½ cups bread crust, torn and soaked in a little milk and squeezed out excess
- 1 small Egg
- Salt & pepper
Sandwich
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese, quartered
- 1 cup mini Gherkins
- 1 cup Lettuce leaves
- 1 NZ avocado, sliced
- 4 slices bread, toasted
- Mayonnaise
- A handful Superb Herb Basil
INSTRUCTIONS
- Mix well all the meatball ingredients (except oil and passata) in a bowl. Form 16 meatballs.
- Heat a little oil in a large fry-pan over medium heat. Fry meatballs until done turning often for 10 minutes. Pour over the passata and cook for a further 3-4 minutes until the meatballs are well coated in the sauce.
- Place a piece of cheese on top of each meatball. Turn the heat off and place a lid over the top. The steam will melt the cheese nicely, and it should only take a few minutes.
- Meanwhile, make mayonnaise toasts.
- To assemble, place a piece of toast, top with avocado, lettuce, meatball, gherkin and basil.
