1
Put everything except for the mincemeat in a blender and blend until smoothyou dont want any onion bits left.
-
2
Add in the mincemeat and blend well.
-
3
Put a frying pan on high heat.
-
4
Make a small patty out of a little of the meat mixture and fry it until its done.
-
5
Taste and see if it needs more seasoning.
-
6
If so, add more seasoning to taste.
-
7
Wet your hands with cold water so the mincemeat doesnt stick to your hands.
-
8
If you are going to set your meatballs on a wooden cutting board, wet that too.
-
9
If youre going to set them on a plastic cutting board or a plate then you dont need to wet it.
-
10
Start rolling the meatballs to your preferred size.
-
11
I tend to prefer a meatball that, when cut in half, is bite sized.
-
12
You shouldnt look like youve devoured a turkey... Come to think of it, this may go for any food actually... Set the completed meatballs on your work surface and continue until youve used all of your meat mixture.
-
13
Put some olive oil or butter into a hot frying pan.
-
14
Place about half of the meatballs into it.
-
15
Let them fry for a minute and then turn them.
-
16
I do this with a spoon and a fork.
-
17
Once youve turned over the meatballs, turn down the temperature to half (medium) and put a lid over the pan.
-
18
This will ensure that the meatballs dont burn on the outside and stay raw on the inside.
-
19
Continue to cook for a few minutes, until juices run clear.
-
20
You can cut one of the meatballs in half to determine this.
-
21
Remove the completed meatballs from the pan and repeat the process with the remaining meatballs.
-
22
Then you are ready to serve.
-
23
Note: Feel free to add parsely or any other herb into your meatball mixture.

For Christmas I added cloves which gave a lovely Christmas flavour to them.
