The mayonnaise in these meatballs helps keep them juicy but not fatty, while the vegetables are seasoned with tamari, honey and pepper with no added salt. I also like to eat them lightly chilled in a salad.

- 500 g pork shoulder mince
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 small onion, very finely diced

- Roll into balls the size of a 50p coin, then chill really well.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a wok, add the meatballs and cook gently for 8 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally to get a nice glaze all over. Once cooked, remove from the pan and keep warm.
