Recipe Method

1. Pre-heat an oven to 200° C. Line a baking tray with aluminium foil and drizzle a little olive oil over.
2. In a food processor, using its chopping blade, chop the bread slice and onion together until fine textured.
3. Replace the chopping blade with the fine-grating blade and push through the carrot and baby marrow.
4. Return the chopping blade into position, and mix in the275 g lean beef or chicken mince sauces and parsley.
5. Roll the mixture into 10 equal, golf-ball size rounds, and arrange close together in the prepared tin. Bake for 20-25 minutes, rolling them over once, half-way through the baking time.
6. Set aside for a few minutes to cool slightly before using some to assemble the ‘worm’.
7. To assemble the worm, simply alternate meatball, baby marrow round (steamed or baked with the meatballs), pineapple pieces/ baby tomatoes on a skewer. To make the tail of the worm, use the end piece of the baby marrow. Use tomato-sauce or mayonnaise, in a syringe to apply eyes and a smiley mouth to create a face on the first meat ball.
