I had some chicken and pork mince to use up but really had no idea what to do with it so I came up with these beauties.  These are delicious cold so perfect for lunchboxes lacking in protein.

We like to cook ours in a mix of olive oil and butter, however, if you are dairy-free plain olive oil will be fine.  These freeze well raw or cooked, if you are freezing them cooked to reheat pop them in a slow oven on 150C to heat through or use a microwave.  This will stop them from drying out.
