Meatball Ingredients

• 1 kilogram Italian sausage (American name for Pork Sausage with Fennel Seeds) - casings removed
•  
  3 slices subs
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 medium egg
• ¾ cup water
• ⅓ cup Parmesan cheese - shredded
• 1 medium green chilis (green chilli in British English) - chopped into minuscule bits
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 glug olive oil

Tomato Sauce Ingredients

• 1 medium onion - roughly chopped
• 1 clove garlic - chopped
• 2 cans tomatoes - whole peeled
•  
  1 medium green hot chilli peppers - chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt - to taste
• ⅓ cup Parmesan cheese - shredded
• 1 lick butter
• 6 leaves basil - chopped

Caramelized Onion Ingredients

• 2 medium yellow onion - sliced thinly
• 2 glugs olive oil
• 1 pinch Sea salt

Other Ingredients

• 8 medium hamburger buns - seeded
• 1 ounce Mozzarella cheese

Instructions

 

• Start the tomato sauce: fry onions, garlic and chilli until translucent over medium-high heat. Add canned tomatoes, let everything cook for 10 minutes.
• Using an immersion blender, blend it all together and then taste and add salt as needed. When it’s properly seasoned, add the butter, parmesan and basil.
• Start the onions: with olive oil, salt and onions, leave on medium-high heat, stirring occasionally and making sure onions don’t burn. Properly caramelizing onions takes half an hour.
• Mix all of the meatball ingredients (besides the oil) together in a bowl, mix everything evenly. Heat olive oil in a deep, large pan. Mould meatballs, approximately 24 2-inch sized.
• Brown meatballs about 4 at a time in the oil and set aside on a paper towel. After you’re done browning, get rid of the olive oil and add the tomato sauce to the meatball pan. Then add meatballs and cook on lowest heat, covered for 25 to 30 minutes.
• To Assemble: halve buns, toast them on rack in the oven on broil. Then add meatballs (3 per bread), sauce cheese and caramelized onions. Throw under the broiler for a moment to melt the cheese. Voila!
