Sweet and Spicy Meatballs
These Sweet and Spicy Meatballs are made using 5%-fat pork mince and served in a deliciously sticky sauce. At first glance, this recipe might seem like it has a lot of ingredients but we promise it's worth it, as all of the spices and sauces combine perfectly to create a dish that's ideal for Friday night fakeaway! This is a moderately spicy recipe, but if you like your food hotter then just add an extra tablespoon of sriracha sauce or teaspoon of chilli powder.

Hi, I’d like to batch cook this recipe as it’s so tasty and to save time with mid week meals. Would you suggest freezing the cooked meatballs in the sauce and then defrosting and warming through on the hob? Or would you suggest freezing the meatballs and sauce separately? Thanks in advance 🥰

Hey Hannah, when testing this recipe we froze it as a whole portion sauce and meatballs and then re-heated when defrosted thoroughly, hope that helps!

Really looking forward to trying this but wondered if you had any other suggestions for accompaniment

Hey Suzanne, we think these meatballs are great with rice or noodles. You could also try them alongside some of these recipes from our website Garlic Green Beans, Creamy Mashed Potatoes or Cauliflower and Chicken Fried Rice hope that helps!
