Method

METHOD FOR THE MEATBALLS:

  1. Mix all the meatball ingredients together except the sauce, being careful not to overwork.
  2. Using wet hands roll the meatball mixture into little balls, around 20g each so you end up with around 24 meatballs.
  3. Gently fry the meatballs in a non-stick pan until nicely browned.
  4. Pour over the tomato sauce, cover with a lid and simmer gently for 45 minutes.
