Method
- Skin the sausages and put the meat into a bowl. Scrunch together with your hands, then form into 12-16 equal-sized meatballs. Add the oil to a non-stick frying pan and brown the meatballs, turning in the pan so they don’t stick.
- Put the Stockpot in a pan with 500ml water. Bring to the boil, then add the carrot and pepper; cook for 3-4 mins until just tender. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- Add the garlic, ginger, ketchup, soy, lemon juice and cornflour to the stock, stir, then bubble for a few mins until the mixture turns syrupy. Pour the sauce over the meatballs and add the veg and pineapple. Simmer for 5 mins, until the meatballs are cooked through. Serve with rice.
