How to Cook Perfect Mince

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 200ºC. Finely chop the olives, rosemary, parsley, spring onion and garlic. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

  • Add the olive mixture to the mince and mix to combine. Roll the mince mixture into small balls. Wet your hands first to prevent the mixture from sticking to them.

  • Mix the dipping sauce ingredients together.

  • Place the lamb balls on a baking tray and cook them in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until they have browned and are cooked through. Alternatively, cook them in batches in a pan in a little oil.

  • Serve the meatballs hot with the dipping sauce.

  • If you have time, make the dipping sauce in advance to allow the flavours to infuse.
