Instructions

Bring on the Sausage Bites
1

a) Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. 

b) Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

c) In a large bowl, combine the garlic, sausage meat and half the Thai style spice blend (add less if you'd prefer things milder). Roll into 12-15 even-sized balls. Pop the meatballs onto a baking tray.

d) When the oven is hot, bake on the top shelf until browned on the outside and cooked through, 10-12 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince. The meatballs are cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Prep the Spicy Sprinkle
2

a) Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.

b) Once hot, add the remaining Thai style spice blend and the breadcrumbs. Fry, stirring regularly, until lightly toasted, 3-4 mins. TIP: Watch it like a hawk as they can burn easily.

c) Once cooked, transfer the spicy sprinkle to a bowl and set aside.

Finish and Serve
3

a) Once the meatballs are cooked, return the (now empty) frying pan to medium heat (no oil). Once hot, add the baked meatballs, sriracha sauce and ketjap manis, then cook until slightly thickened and sticky, 1-2 mins.

b) Transfer the sausage bites to a serving dish and scatter over the spicy sprinkle to finish.

Enjoy!
