That's some Spicy Meat-a-BALLs...




Simple, easy and spicy! Let me know if you are able to re-create The Mask's performance above

Ingredients

  • Meatballs

400gr of your fave mince meat (I like veal and pork, but you can use beef as well, OOOOOOOR a mix of beef and pork)
1 onion, grated
1 garlic clove, crushed
3 tbsp flat leaf parsley, chopped, obv!
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp paprika
salt and pepper

  • Sauce

tomato passata or chopped tomatoes (400-500gr), whatever you prefer
2-3 tbsp EVO Oil
1 fresh chilli
1 onion, grated
1 garlic clove, crushed
3 tbsp flat leaf parsley, chopped, again!
a few drops of Worcester Sauce, if you feel particularly adventurous tonight


How to


Start the sauce by gently frying onion and garlic in a pan, then add the tomato passata, the chilli and let simmer while you go and prepare the Meat-a-balls.

Mix well all the meatballs ingredients and make ... BALLS! (between 18 and 20, depending on how big you like 'em.)

Once ready, toss 'em in the tomato sauce pan, add a pinch of salt and pepper and the Worcester sauce, and cook for around 20-25 minutes or until they are cooked through and the sauce is thick to your liking. Before you serve, add the parsley and stir.

Toast some nice sourdough bread to accompany the sauce and meatballs; or cook some spaghetti, if you insist, but let it be known, Italians don't do that.



Come on England!
