Lamb Meatball Open Sandwich
Everyone loves these little meatballs coated in tomato basil sauce, stacked with crispy lettuce, gherkin, and cheese on a small piece of bread. Great for a family party.
Ingredients
500g premium lamb mince (we love Pure South)- 2 tbsp oregano, chopped (we love Superb Herb)
- Chantal Organics Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 cup Chantal Organics Tomato Basil Passata
- ½ tsp garlic salt
- 1 ½ cups bread crust, torn and soaked in a little milk and squeezed out excess
- 1 small egg
- Salt & pepper
- 4 slices cheddar cheese, quartered
- 1 cup mini gherkins
- 1 cup lettuce leaves
- 1 avocado, sliced (we love NZ Avocado)
- 4 slices bread, toasted
- Mayonnaise
- A handful basil (we love Superb Herb)
instructions
-
Step 1.
Mix well all the meatball ingredients (except oil and passata) in a bowl. Form 16 meatballs.
-
Step 2.
Heat a little oil in a large fry-pan over medium heat. Fry meatballs until done turning often for 10 minutes. Pour over the passata and cook for a further 3-4 minutes until the meatballs are well coated in the sauce.
-
Step 3.
Place a piece of cheese on top of each meatball. Turn the heat off and place a lid over the top. The steam will melt the cheese nicely, and it should only take a few minutes.
-
Step 4.
Meanwhile, make mayonnaise toasts.
-
Step 5.
To assemble, place a piece of toast, top with avocado, lettuce, meatball, gherkin and basil.
