Ingredients for meatballs:
- 500g beef mince (feel free to use 250g, adjust other measurements accordingly)
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- Half to 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of pepper
- 1 egg
- Drizzle of sesame oil (or any type of olive oil is good too)
Other ingredients:
- 2 cloves of garlic
- Lettuce
- Olive oil
- Bread ( I've used dinner rolls, they can work with french sticks or whatever you have).
- Tomato Sauce
- Butter
Method:
1.Mix all the meatball ingredients together in a bowl.
2. To cook the meatballs, put a pan on a high heat and add some olive oil. Then add 2 finely chopped cloves of garlic (I like to use a garlic crusher/press) to the pan.
3. Add the meatballs (use your hands to form balls from the mince) to the pan. At this point, turn the heat down a little bit so your meatballs and garlic don't burn.
4. Keep an eye on them and constantly turn them or 'wiggle' the pan for a few minutes.
5. They're ready if the meat has turned brown on the inside (cut one open and have a look). There should be a nice crust around the meat on the outside.
To assemble the slider:
- Toast your bread and when they're nice and hot, spread some butter over it.
- Place the lettuce on the bottom and then your meatballs.
- Add a squeeze of tomato sauce for that extra sweetness.
Tip:
- Be really careful to not burn your meatballs or overcook them. They will feel tougher when they're about done (compared to when they were raw).
So, if you want to be the life of the party, remember to bring these bad boys! If you're an adult, it also goes well with a nice glass of Rum and Coke - so check out that recipe here (http://foodforlooks.blogspot.com.au/2014/04/cocktail-time-rum-and-coke-also-known.html)!
