Hhhiiiyyyaaa!!!

Ooooh pork balls with couscous for dinner. Yummy! So simple. Two ingredients to the pork balls, oh will you stop it. I promise you it still tastes good. Ideal for a quick weeknight dinner.

I used free range pork mince for this dish but you really don't have to. It was on offer so if I were you, get any pork mince on offer and save your money for ya hollibobs and exploring the world.

The worst part of making this dish is mixing the mince. I really don't like the feel of it squelching through my fingers but it's a job that needs to be done. There will be a piece of machinery available to mix it for me but am I going to use it? No, absolutely not. The less I have to wash up, the better.

When making my pork balls, I feel it is so easy to make balls by using an ice cream scoop. Yes you heard me an actual ice cream scoop. Oh will you stop it! Honestly, I scoop the mince out from the bowl with it as it gives me the exact size I like my balls to be. Don't be thinking rude things here. I am talking about the mince mixture. I then roll them in my hands and throw them in the pan. Job done. Easy.

In my family, Mr Shelley and I love couscous but the kids are not that keen on it. Who cares? They are in their teens and I'm not cooking separate meals. They have to eat it. No, I'm not mean because I do not use couscous much due to this factor but every now and again I want it. They ate it though.

The meal was absolutely simple and beautiful. Even better with a few halved tomatoes and Tzatziki whacked on the top. I highly recommend.

The video for this meal is on my social media accounts accessed at the top of my website. I hope you enjoy the demonstration.

Enjoy.
