Breadcrumbs alternative???

[SueJB]

I've heard that chia seeds are good for binding but I've never tried them myself. You can get them from Holland & Barrett and other health food shops.

Thanks, I use chia seeds for a dessert but they're too much like semolina to be any use in meatballs

As a T2 I wouldn't use flour or potato!

use fine grated raw potato like in greek meat balls leave skin on the starch will help to bind the meat ball just let the mix stand a few min, this will also keep them soft and lighter than using b/crumbs

Not sure how low carb this would be...

Gosh, you do well to understand what pork scratchings are. They're usually a mystery for non-UK members.

Thanks so much - it looks great!

All I need now is to find a place that sells pork scratchings! I've only ever seen them in pubs and bars, but tend not to go to them these days, as I don't drink alcohol anymore.

I use Mr Porky crispy strips. They are easier on the teeth. I get mine from One Stop just around the corner.
