• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1 tablespoon pesto sauce
• 2 teaspoons brown sugar
• 1 large onion, minced
• 500 g beef mince
• 500 g pork mince
• 1 large egg

1. Food process the oatmeal until it looks like meal, add everything but the meat and the egg.
2. Blitz that until well combined.
3. Mix into meat along with the egg until mixture is uniform.
4. Make into uniform size balls -- as a trick you can pat it out into a square then cut it up like a checker/chess board -- but that's a bit picky to me lol.
5. Fry in a pan on all sides til brown (2 min in a hot pan?
6. ).
7. Pop onto a baking sheet, or whatever won't blow up in the oven (line it with foil -- trust me.
8. ).
9. 350f, 200c for about 30 minute Break one open and make sure that it is done.
