I love these tasty meat balls for a party, they are especially favoured by kids who love the crunchiness of the lettuce. You can most certainly use minced chicken pork or prawn meat.

  6. Once cooked allow the meatballs to cool slightly before wrapping with a fresh, crisp lettuce leaf and dolloping with the salsa
Tips & Hints:
  • Makes about 25 meatballs depending on the size
