Parmesan Meatball Skewers

Making meat balls is time consuming but occasionally I will do it for our meals too. So I combined the bread crumb, mince, onion, cheese and dried herbs for my meatballs. Rolled them up, pan frying then baking them till cook through.



Ingredients


450g beef mince
50g bread crumbs
1 small red onion, coarsely grated
150g finely grated parmesan cheese
½ tsp mixed dried herbs
2 x 400g cans diced tomatoes
A handful of roughly chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
A handful of fresh basil leaves
Cooked macaroni pasta, to serve


What to do

(1) Combine bread crumbs, mince, onion, cheese, and dried herbs in a large bowl. Using 1 tablespoon mixture at a time, roll mixture into balls. Place on a tray. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced.

 
(2) Line a baking tray with baking paper. Thread 4 meatballs onto each skewer. Place skewers on prepared tray. Bake for 30 minutes or until browned and cooked through.

 
(3) Meanwhile, place tomato, parsley and basil in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 3 to 4 minutes or until heated through. Serve skewers with pasta and tomato mixture.
