Asian inspired pork balls with a pickled ginger and pineapple slaw perfumed with a lime infused olive oil.

Method

  1. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. If required add a little more breadcrumbs to bind.
  2. To make the pork balls, roll in the palm of your hands a golf ball sized portion of the mix.  Each pork ball should be similar in size and shape.
  3. For patties simply flatten the balls.
  4. Heat a suitable sized frying pan and drizzle in some of the lime infused olive oil. Place the pork balls/patties in the pan and cook until golden brown. Do not overcrowd the pan.

To serve

  1. Keep warm in the oven until all are cooked and serve with the pickled ginger and pineapple slaw.
  2. For patties, serve in a baguette with salad greens, mayonnaise and tomato.
