17th December 2024
Having recently tried the range of Redefined Meat – a delicious selection of plant-based meal alternatives – I have been exploring some indulgent recipes using the range.
Here’s a recipe for sticky redefine beef meatballs served with pomegranate, bringing together these flavours in a warming and comforting dish.
Ingredients
Meatballs:
- 1 pack Redefine Beef Mince, defrosted
- 2 large garlic cloves, minced or crushed through a press
- 1 shallot, very finely chopped
- 20g flat-leaf parsley, chopped
- 10g mint, chopped
- Salt and pepper
- 2g cumin, ground
- 2g coriander, ground
- 2g cinnamon, ground
- 50g toasted panko breadcrumbs
- 15ml olive oil, for cooking
Pomegranate glaze:
- 100g / 1 shallot, very finely chopped
- 15ml olive oil
- 250ml pomegranate Juice
- 15ml maple syrup
- 15ml pomegranate molasses
- Pinch salt and pepper
- 2ml ground allspice
Garnish:
- 30g pomegranate seeds
- 5g coriander or parsley
- 6g crispy onions
What to do
Pomegranate glaze:
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, sauté the shallot in olive oil for 2 to 3 minutes, until fragrant and tender.
- Add pomegranate juice, syrup, pomegranate molasses, salt and pepper and allspice. Bring to a simmer.
- Turn the heat to medium, then gently simmer uncovered for 15 minutes, until it reduces by 1⁄2.
- Remove from the heat.
Meatballs:
- In a medium bowl, combine the beef mince, garlic, shallot, parsley, mint, salt, cumin, coriander, cinnamon and pepper.
- Mix well using your hands, adding enough breadcrumbs to make the mixture easy to roll into balls.
- Using wet hands, roll into 12 to 16 ping-pong sized balls; set aside.
- While the glaze is reducing, cook the meatballs. In a large frying pan over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon of oil. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding, sear the meatballs on all sides.
- Transfer them to an ovenproof dish and place in a 180°C (350°F) oven to cook through.
- Pour the glaze over the meatballs, and before serving, sprinkle with fresh pomegranate seeds, herbs and crispy onions.
Enjoy!
