Duck Mince and Olive Polpettini with Tomato Relish

The word Polpettini means Italian meat patty, these tasty morsels can be made ahead of time and can be frozen.

INGREDIENTS

1kg Luv-a-Duck duck mince
100g kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
2 tbsp sun dried tomatoes, finely chopped
1/2 red capsicum, finely chopped
12 sage leaves, finely chopped
1 egg
Ground black pepper
Enough breadcrumbs to bind (approx half cup)
Extra breadcrumbs and olive oil

METHOD

Mix all ingredients (except extra breadcrumbs and oil) well in a deep bowl. Season to taste.

Form mixture into balls, each of about 40-60 grams (about the size of a golf ball) and roll in the extra breadcrumbs.

Grease a baking tray with olive oil and roll balls around to lightly coat in oil before baking at 190C until golden. Do not crowd them, and give them a shake while cooking to colour evenly.

Serve with tomato relish.
