The husband made pesto second-time (both without pine nuts because don't know where to get them nuts) and we kept some of the pastor sauce in the fridge so we can use them next time. Ain't nobody got the time to do pesto as and when one craves for it. Heh.
With the extra pesto sauce in the fridge, I thought of eating something other than pesto pasta for a change so I went to google to get some ideas.

Then, I saw the word 'Pesto Meatballs' and I was immediately sold - because I know how easy and mess-free it is to make meatballs.
So, I grabbed half of a chicken breast (with the other half, it looks like a butterfly. Since this is a first-time trial, I decided not to risk wasting my chicken breast. Heh.
I took half of the butterfly cut and grind it with our newly-purchased Tefal blender (because the previous one broke down in the middle of MCO) and we have for ourselves, a handful of minced chicken meat.

Then using just one bowl, I mix all the ingredients:
- Minced meat (you can use pork, beef whatsoever meat you want - it is your meatballs after all).
- one whole egg
- pesto sauce
- bread crumbs
- salt & pepper
Don't ask me on the measurements okay because I just put according to how I feel only. HAHA.
Then, mix all of these ingredients together. I should have put in more crumbs so that my meatballs not too sticky but it was still okay. Mine just lack salt because I was so scared that it becomes too salty since the pesto was quite salty already.
Then, after that just shape them to however you like.
It can be mini patties too actually - because the second batch I made it flatter.
BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT TO ADD MORE OIL INTO THE PAN - save them oil okay.
And we have ourselves some really yummy homemade pesto meatballs - the green colour is really a bonus! Loved it!
Definitely will be making more of these meatballs in the future.
Till next time.
