Beef and Lamb Braai Meatballs

A braai doesn’t have to burn your cash and can be more economical than you think. Get creative with everyday ingredients and less expensive meat cuts, while still delivering the conventional ‘steak & chops’ taste.

Prep Time: 25 minutes Cook Time: 25 minutes
Yield: 20 meatballs

Ingredients

+- 300 g Lamb mince
+-500 g Lean beef mince
1 Medium onion, finely chopped or grated
10 ml Italian dried herbs
8 ml Salt
2 slices SPAR brown bread
250 g SPAR Rindless Streaky Bacon, each rasher cut in half lengthwise, using scissors

Ideas for threading between the meatballs:

SPAR Freshline green peppers, pineapple chunks, 2 x 200g punnets SPAR mini plum tomatoes.

Method

Combine the ingredients in a food processor, and roll into 20 golf-ball size meatballs.
Wrap a strip of bacon once around each meatball, and thread them close together on a long kebab stick.
Brush over with oil and braai for 20-25 minutes, turning once and a while until attractively browned all over.

Long metal skewers work best, but if you use wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before using, to prevent them burning over the coals. Why not wrap a greased foil parcel for each person, filled with well-seasoned chicken breast fillet strips, onion marmalade, and handful of grated SPAR cheddar cheese.
To cut down on meat costs provide big bowls of interesting, delicious side-salads and loaves of bread. Encourage guests to take liberal portions of these first, to fill their plates up before dishing up the meats.
