Adding mozzarella gives a slight variation on a simple meatball dish. The sauce can be lavished up with some fresh bread or place the sauce and meatballs on a bed of rice. We have heard stories of the smell of a good sauce wafting through the house being so tempting that the sauce can disappear before meal time!
Ingredients
- 1 onion – peeled, rinsed, diced finely
- 2 garlic cloves – peeled, rinsed, crushed
- 1/2 cup parsley – washed, diced finely
- 1 cup mozzarella – grated
- 600g / 21oz veal mince
- 3/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 4 tablespoons olive oil – for frying
- 2 – 400g / 14 oz tins tomato – blended
Directions
- Prepare vegetables and cheese.
- In a large bowl add garlic, parsley, mozzarella, mince, breadcrumbs and egg mix well to combine with clean hands.
- With a tablespoon load a heap of meat mixture and with wet hands roll mixture into a ball and place on a plate. Repeat until mixture is finished.
- Heat oil in a large frying pan on low heat.
- Add meat balls and onion rotate to lightly brown meat balls all over. Constantly stir to prevent meat from sticking and onions from browning for approximately 3 – 5 minutes.
- Add blended tomatoes to cover over meatballs, bring to boil and simmer on low heat covered for 30 minutes.
- Slightly remove lid of frying pan for a further 15 minutes to thicken sauce.
- Serve with favourite bread or on a bed of plain rice.
