SPICY CAJUN MEATBALLS

These are amazing.... have them on their own with salad or veggies, add them to soup, turn them into a stew and they even make a great party snack.

 You could even make them into burger patties!

Ingredients:

-          2 Tablespoons of Cajun Spice mix

-          ½ teaspoon of smoked paprika

-          410g crushed or diced tinned tomatoes

-          50g grated carrot

-          ½ brown onion

-          500g of organic minced beef

-          1 egg

-          Pepper to taste

-          ¼ teaspoon vegetable salt (from health food store, made from dried herbs & natural salt)

-          Chilli flakes (optional)

Method:

Mix everything but the meat and the egg together. Once you have mixed everything together into a sauce have a quick taste and add more spice or pepper if you like. You could even add chilli flakes if you wanted an extra kick.

Once you are happy with the sauce then add the meat and egg and mix all together until properly combined.

Take mixture and place into the palm of your hands and roll into balls and place in a tray in the oven or cook in a fry pan or casserole dish.
