Ingredients

200 g minced beef
200 g ground pork
1/2 bunch flat leaf parsley
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
2 garlic cloves, chopped
3 tablespoons fine breadcrumbs
milk, enough to cover breadcrumbs
plain flour
2 (400 g) cans chopped tomatoes
3 garlic cloves, halved
1/2 red chili pepper, finely sliced
2 tablespoons pitted green olives, drained
1 bunch fresh basil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
sea salt
fresh ground black pepper
olive oil

Steps:

Heat the oven to 180°C.
Soak the breadcrumbs in the milk.
Lightly fry the shallots, garlic and chilli. When they have sweated down add the white wine and reduce for a minute or 2 until it has almost evaporated. Add the tomatoes along with the basil, oregano and finally the olives. Simmer to reduce (this should take 5-10 mins).
While the tomato sauce is cooking, make up the meatballs: Into the mince add the parsley, parmesan, garlic and add soaked breadcrumbs, mix well. Season with a little salt and pepper.
Shape into walnut sized balls and lightly coat the meatballs in the flour and fry in hot olive oil until golden. Add the meatballs to the tomato sauce and bake in the oven for 10 minutes.
Serve with basmati rice, or choice of pasta.

These meatballs were a little too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. He said they were the perfect amount of heat.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my meatballs didn't turn out as well as I hoped. They were a little dry and the sauce was too salty.

These meatballs were a little bland for my taste. I would add more spices next time.

I've tried many meatball recipes over the years, but this one is by far the best. The meatballs are so moist and flavorful, and the sauce is to die for.
