1/3 cup (25g) fresh multigrain breadcrumbs

1 small egg white

1 teaspoon finely grated lemon rind

½ teaspoon allspice

1 small brown onion (80g), grated coarsely

Method

  1. Combine pork, breadcrumbs, egg white, rind, allspice, onion, chopped sage and parsley in a medium bowl; mix well. Form mixture into six balls. Place on a tray; cover, refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm.
