Meatballs in tomato sauce
Serves 4
450g minced meat of your choice
1 level tbsp chopped parsley
Seasoning
1 crushed clove of garlic
1/2 level tsp cumin
1 egg
Sauce:
2 onions finely chopped
1 level tbsp tomato puree (1/2 syn)
Pinch grated nutmeg
400g tin tomatoes
1/2 level tsp sweetener
Place all the sauce ingredients into a pan and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer gently for ten minutes while making the meatballs.
Place meat, garlic, herbs and seasoning into a bowl and mix until well combined. Add the egg and mix well again.
Divide into small balls and carefully add to the sauce - cover pan and simmer for 20 minutes to cook the meat. Serve with vegetables.
I often make this with turkey mince and add finely chopped tinned button mushrooms into the meatballs as turkey mince can be a little dry. But is was lovely - in fact even better the next day. Enjoy!
