Recipe: Barbecued Meatballs

Tom Carr | December 21, 2015 | 3:02 am | Comment

barbecued meatballs

Kids dig barbecued meatballs. And can you blame them? Seasoned meat on a stick, now that’s pretty darn good. Not to mention preparation takes minutes and they’re cooked before you realise they’re even on the hot plate…

The perfect addition to any barbecue; meatballs are easily paired with a simple rocket salad (tossed through a premium olive oil) and served alongside your favourite barbecued meats and veggies!

As they say – once the weather starts heating up, so does the barbie.
