Ingredients
Meatball Ingredients
700g beef mince.
1 whole onion - grated.
3 crushed garlic cloves.
1/2 cup chopped fresh mint.
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley.
1/2 tsp dried oregano.
1/2 cup bread crumbs.
1 whole egg.
Salt and pepper to taste.
A drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
Tomato sauce Ingredients
1/2 an onion - chopped
1 garlic clove - chopped
1/2 cup white wine ( optional) or substitute with 1/2 beef stock
700g tomato passata
1 cup water
2 bay leaves
Salt and pepper to taste
Method
Combine all meatball ingredients into a large bowl. Work the mixture well with your hands until the ingredients hold together.
Roll just under a tablespoon worth of the mixture into a small ball and set aside.
In a large deep pan, add a drizzle of olive oil and turn heat to medium high. When hot add the meatballs and slightly brown them on each side. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, add an extra drizzle of olive oil, then the onion and garlic. Sauté for a minute then add the white wine. Simmer for approximately 2 minutes then add the passata, water and bay leaves. Place the meatballs back into the pot with the sauce and simmer fully covered on medium heat for 20 minutes. Remove lid and check for seasoning. Stir then cook for another 10-15 minutes uncovered until the sauce thickens.
Enjoy
