Ingredients for 4 people:

For the meatballs:
1 roll (stale)
500 g mixed minced meat
1 onion
1 tablespoon hot mustard
1 egg (M)

8 large sage leaves
2 tbsp oil
For the courgette spaghetti:
750 g courgettes
4 tbsp olive oil
salt, pepper
50 g pumpkin seeds
2 tbsp chopped parsley

Preparation:

1. Rub off the crust of the bread roll. Soak the buns in water. Place the mince in a bowl. Peel onion and dice very finely. Squeeze out the bread roll and add to the minced meat together with the onion, mustard, egg, salt and pepper. Knead well.

2. With moistened hands, shape the mince into patties. Place a sage leaf into the mince on each side. Heat the oil in a large coated frying pan. Fry the meatballs on both sides for about 1215 minutes, turning occasionally.

3. Rinse and clean the courgettes and slice or cut lengthways into very thin slices. Then cut lengthwise into thin strips. Heat the olive oil in a large coated frying pan. Fry the courgettes for approx. 5 minutes, turning frequently. Season with salt and pepper. Mix in the pumpkin seeds, parsley and pink pepper berries. Serve both together.
