Meatballs, at last good to stay slim! I use pork tenderloin, which is a lean meat, to prepare them. So no scruples ! I like doing these meatballs as simply as possible : salt, pepper, egg and breadcrumbs. They are perfect served with a plate of pasta in sauce, like pasta with tomatoes sauce. You can, instead of breadcrumbs, use bread softened in milk. The meatballs can also be made with herbs : parsley, chives , coriander, with garlic or onion . Let your imagination run wild!

PREPARATION
- Cut the tenderloin into pieces and mince quickly with a food processor.
- In a bowl, mix the minced pork with egg, breadcrumb, add salt and pepper.
- Mix with hands until a homogenous mixture.
- Take the equivalent of a tablespoon of stuffing and roll between your palms to form a ball . You can make more or less large meatballs depending on use. I like to roll them into small balls for a pasta dish .
- In a saucepan , heat 1 tbsp olive oil. When the pan is hot , place the meatballs and cook on each side until meatballs are browned and cooked inside.
For a sauce dish, you can finish cooking the meatballs in the sauce.
Bon appétit!
