Ingredients
Meatball Ingredients
500 grams ground beef (minced beef)
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 teaspoons oregano
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 medium egg
Sauce Ingredients
400 grams tomato - diced- 2 mediums tomato - washed and diced
1 medium onion - washed and diced into small pieces- 2 medium eggs
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon ground black pepper - salt, sugar to add flavours
1 cup Parmesan cheese - powdered
Instructions
- Start with the meatball, add 1 egg into the beef and mix well with your hand until combined.
- Add the rest of the ingredients and combine well. Leave aside for 15 minutes to marinate.
- Use a spoon, scoop out the beef mixture and roll it into a ball with the palms of your hand – the size of a ping-pong ball.
- Lay it on a baking tray. Gently push the ball down a little, but not too flat. Sit for another 10 minutes.
- Heat a pan with a bit of oil. When the oil is hot enough, place meatballs into the pan and cook both sides until golden brown. Leave the pan. Continue with the rest.
- Preheat the oven to 150 degrees Celsius.
- Using the same saucepan, reheat the pan with a new dash of oil – medium heat. Add onions and cook until soft and turning golden brown.
- Add diced tomatoes (both can and fresh), and cook until soft. Add salt, pepper, and sugar to the taste that you like.
- Add the meatballs, basil leaves and sesame oil to the tomato mixture and stir well in low heat. Make sure the tomato sauce covers the meatballs.
- Cover the lid and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and pour tomato sauce-meatballs into a bake-proof pan. Crack 2 eggs on top of the pan (best to have 1 on each side) and sprinkle cheese over the dish.
- Place pan into the oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until eggs are well-cooked.
- Remove from oven, rest at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving. Add extra cheese on top and add some fresh greens if you like.
