Ingredients

500g Lamb Mince

50g Stuffing Mix (make up as per instructions)

1 Large Shallot (Finely sliced)

2 Sprigs of Rosemary (Destalked, 1 cut finely).

4 Large Tomatoes (Cut into thick slices)

1 Tin Chopped Tomatoes

2 Small Red Onions (Roughly cut into quarters).

2 Red Chillies (Finely Sliced, keeping back a small amount of the seeds).

Balsamic Vinegar

Salt & Black Pepper

Directions

In a large bowl, mix together the Lamb mince, Stuffing, Shallot, 1 of the Chillies, the cut Rosemary and a good whack of freshly ground black pepper. Do this until you have a fairly even consistency.

Grab a handful of the mix and roll into a large meatball. This mixture should make 6 of them (so they are pretty big!).

Add a good sized slosh of oil to a deep pan and put on a medium heat. When hot, place each of the meatballs into the pan, and get them sizzling. Over the next 5 or so minutes, turn them fairly regularly, so that they are lightly browned on the outside.

Add the remaining rosemary, the red onions, chillies and seeds and cook for a couple of minutes, still turning the meatballs.

Slosh in some Balsamic Vinegar (about 1.5 tablespoons) over and around the Meatballs, then add the tin of chopped tomatoes and the sliced tomatoes. Cover and cook gently for 30-40 minutes until the sauce is nice and thick and the Meatballs are cooked through. You don't need to stir it - just leave it to sit and steam/simmer.

Serve piping hot with Mashed Potato and a decent glass of wine.

Thanks for saying so - I love them too - and after the random nature in which they were invented, I'm happy to say we make them fairly regularly now... Yum!
