RECIPE OF THE WEEK  

SPICED MEATBALLS IN RICH TOMATO SAUCE 

FOR THE MEAT BALLS 

500g miced pork or lamb or beef 


large onion, finely chopped 

2 cloves of garlic, peeled and crushed 

 red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped 

 1 tbsp of rosemary, thyme, oregano and mint 

125g white breadcrumbs 

1 egg lightly beaten 

3 tbsp Olive Oil 

FOR THE RICH TOMATO SAUCE 

2 tbsp Olive Oil 

 large onion finely chopped 

1 stick of celery, finely chopped 

175ml red wine 

2 tins chopped tomatoes 

1 bay leaf 

METHOD 

Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees C/ 160 degrees fan / Gas 4 

To prepare meat balls mix everything together apart from the olive oil,
into a large bowl, including a large pinch of salt and freshly ground black
pepper. 

Shape the meatball mixture into 24 balls and keep to one side 

Add the 3 tbsp of olive oil to a non-stick roasting tray. Place in the
oven for a couple of minutes to heat up and then add the meatballs. Roll
around so they are coated in the oil, and then return them to the oven for
30 mins - turn a few times during cooking so they become evenly golden. 

Prepare the
sauce whilst meat balls are cooking. Heat the olive oil in a
large sauce pan and gently cook the onion and celery for about 5 minutes,
until they are softened and starting to colour. 

Stir in the red wine, tomatoes and bay leaf. Bring to a simmer and cook
for about 15 mins until you have a rich sauce. 

Season with salt and pepper, add the browned meatballs and cook gently for
a further 10 minutes. Serve hot
