Meatball Ingredients

  • Raw Meat Mince400 grams ground beef (minced beef) - 5% fat
  • Ripe Yellow Onion On A White Background1 medium yellow onion - very finely diced
  • Garlic2 cloves garlic - finely diced
  • Bacon3 rashers bacon - smoked, trimmed of all fat and finely diced
  • Dried Basil Leaves In Wooden Bowl Over White1 tablespoon dried basil
  • Oregano Dried In Wooden Bowl Over White1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • Thyme Herb1 teaspoon thyme
  • Crushed Tomatoes1 tablespoon passata or crushed tomatoes (tomato puree with seeds removed)
  • Chicken Egg1 medium egg - beaten

Sauce Ingredients

  • Tomatoes1 tin tomatoes - chopped
  • Crushed Tomatoes6 tablespoon passata or crushed tomatoes (tomato puree with seeds removed)
  • Red Wine50 ml red wine
  • Worcestershire Sauce1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  •  
    1 teaspoon chilli powder
  • Dried Basil Leaves In Wooden Bowl Over White1 teaspoon dried basil
  • Oregano Dried In Wooden Bowl Over White1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Black Olives16 small black olives - chopped
  • Cheddar Cheese Block, Paths80 grams cheddar cheese - reduced-fat and grated

Instructions
 

  • Fry the bacon in oil until crisp. Add the remainder of the meatball ingredients to a bowl and plenty of cracked black pepper. Mix well.
  • Shape the mixture into meatballs just larger than a walnut. Using the same pan as for the bacon, fry the meatballs until browned on all sides – you may need to do this in two batches – then cover and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 190 degrees Celsius. Put all of the sauce ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for a few minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  • Cover the base of a casserole or gratin dish with the meatballs, aligned evenly, leaving space in between each one. Pour the sauce obto meatballs, ensuring that it fills all the gaps.
  • Sprinkle the cheese, then place in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cheese on top is browned. Serve with a large green salad.
