INSTRUCTIONS
Heat a large frying pan. Place the pork in a bowl with the sage and plenty of seasoning. Grate the carrot, apple and an onions in a processor. Add to the pork and mix until well combined. 2 Using slightly wet hands, shape the pork mixture into walnut-sized balls. Add 3 tbsp oil to the pan and fry the pork meatballs for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden and completely tender, turning regularly. 3 Heat a frying pan. Finely chop the remaining onion. Add 1 tbsp olive oil to the pan and gently fry a third of the onion for 3-4 mins until soft. 4 Heat another frying pan. Cut the pepper in half, remove the seeds and dice the flesh. Add 1 tbsp oil to the frying pan. 5 Add the remaining onion to the frying pan with the pepper. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, add a dash of balsamic vinegar, season to taste and set aside. 6 Add the garlic and chilli flakes to the softened onion and cook for 30 seconds, stirring. Pour in the tomatoes and simmer for 5-10 minutes, or as long as time allows. Season to taste. 7 Place the 250ml/9fl oz boiling water in a pan with 1 tbsp oil and 1 tsp salt. Bring to a simmer, take off the heat and stir in the couscous. Leave for two minutes to allow to swell. 8 Return the couscous to the heat and add 2 tbsp oil. Cook gently for three minutes, stirring with a fork to fluff up the grains and stir in the reserved pepper mixture. Season to taste. 9 Roughly chop the parsley and reserve some for a garnish. Stir the remainder into the tomato sauce. Spoon some couscous onto a serving plate and add half the pork meatballs on top. 10 Spoon over half the tomato sauce and garnish with a sprinkling of parsley. Serve at once. Converted by MC_Buster.
