RECIPE FOR MEATBALLS AND TOMATO SAUCE RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat a glug of oil in a large, deep heavy-based frying pan. Add the onions and cook gently for 6-8 minutes until translucent. Turn up the heat, add the garlic and cumin and cook for 2-3 minutes until the onions start to brown. Transfer half to a large bowl.
• Add the tomato purée and chilli paste to the onions in the pan and cook for 2 minutes, then pour in the tomatoes and beef stock. Bring to the boil, then turn down to a simmer while you make the meatballs.
• Add the beef mince, eggs, milk and lots of salt and pepper to the onions in the bowl and use your hands to combine the ingredients thoroughly. Shape into 20-22 even-size balls.
• Heat a large frying pan with a glug of oil over a medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and fry, in batches, for 3-4 minutes until browned, then transfer to the sauce and simmer for 20-25 minutes until the meatballs are cooked and the sauce is thick. Use half the meatballs/sauce for 4 people and serve with rice/pasta, sprinkled with grated parmesan.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients in a large bowl by hand.
• Use your bare hands for best results.
• Roll meatballs to about the size of a golf ball. (wet your hands to prevent the meat from sticking to them while rolling the meat balls).
• Drop raw meatballs into large (I use a stock pot) pot of sauce.
• (I have an incredible sauce recipe {#92096} I use for my meatballs).
• Simmer for about 3 hours.
