Ingredients
-
8 oz (225 g) each lean ground pork and beef or veal (or 1 lb/450 g lean ground beef or veal)
1-1/2 cups finely shredded Canadian Asiago cheese
1 small onion, minced
2 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp fennel seeds, crushed
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
Tomato Sauce:
2 tbsp olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 tsp salt
Pinch hot pepper flakes
1 can (398 mL) or 1-1/2 cups chopped tomatoes with juice
1 cup bottled strained tomatoes (passata)
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp wine vinegar
1/4 tsp granulated sugar
Preparation
In large bowl, stir together beef, cheese, onion, garlic, parsley, egg, fennel seeds, salt and pepper until blended. Form into 24 meatballs. Bake on parchment paper-lined baking sheet in 400°F (200°C) oven for 15 minutes.
Tomato Sauce: Meanwhile, in saucepan, heat oil over medium-low heat; cook garlic, salt and hot pepper flakes until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Stir in chopped and strained tomatoes, oregano, vinegar, sugar and 1/4 cup water. Increase heat to medium; cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes. With tongs, add meatballs to sauce; simmer for 5 minutes.
Makes 4 to 6 servings.
