Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 190°C/170°C fan.

  2. Step 2

    Combine the mince, breadcrumbs, parsley, onion and parmesan in a bowl, adding enough egg to bind together into a firm mixture.

  3. Step 3

    Wet your hands and roll heaped tablespoons of the mixture into 24 balls, placing the meatballs onto a lined baking sheet as you go.

  4. Step 4

    Drizzle the meatballs with oil and bake in the oven for 15 minutes or until cooked through and starting to brown, turning halfway.

  5. Step 5

    While the meatballs are cooking, make the glaze. Add all the ingredients to a small pan, bring to a simmer and stir regularly. Cook for about 5 minutes, until the mixture starts to thicken and becomes glossy.

  6. Step 6

    Pour half of the glaze over the meatballs and roll them around to ensure an even coat, then return them to the oven for 5 minutes.

  7. Step 7

    When ready to serve poke a cocktail stick in each meatball, transferring to a serving dish as you go, sprinkle with parsley and serve alongside the remaining ketchup glaze.
