Stop Food Waste Special - Meat & Mushroom Balls

These delicious meatballs have veggies right inside them!

The added texture and moisture from the veggies makes the meatballs tastier, and better for you. You can change the flavour and reduce food waste by including leftover different veggies, bread and even nut, and cheese varieties.
