Cooking Instructions
- Mix together the mince, onion, garlic, sage, paprika and seasoning with your hands.
- Roll the mixture into equal-sized balls.
- Heat a medium size pan until hot.
- Add 1 tbsp of Rapeseed Oil.
- Fry the meatballs until browned and set aside in a large casserole dish (don't worry if they're not cooked through at this stage).
- To make the sauce, turn the heat to medium and fry the onion for 10 minutes in a little Rapeseed oil, adding a little water if it starts to stick.
- Stir in the remaining sauce ingredients and cook for 5-10 minutes.
- Cover the meatballs with the sauce and cookie the oven at Gas 4, 180°C for a further 10 minutes, until the meatballs are cooked through and piping hot.
