Getting the kids involved in the cooking process often means that they are more willing to try new flavours. Try it on these sensational beef meatballs with a hint of caraway.
Ingredients
- 425g lean beef mince
- 25g (1/4 cup) dried (packaged) breadcrumbs
- 1 egg, lightly whisked
- 2 teaspoons caraway seeds
- Salt & freshly ground black pepper

- 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives

Method
- Step 1Kids’ task: Combine mince, breadcrumbs, egg and caraway seeds in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Divide mince mixture into 16 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
- Step 2Heat oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and cook, turning occasionally, for 7-8 minutes or until cooked through. Add the honey and cook, stirring, until the meatballs are evenly coated.
