Instructions

1 Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl.
2 Lightly oil your hands and make half a teaspoon sized balls.
3 Cook the meatballs on a pan on medium heat with olive oil. Once they’re golden
and cooked through, remove them and keep for later use.
4 Peel, deseed and chop the tomatoes really finely. Pass the seeds through a
colander by pressing on them with the back of a spoon and keep their juices.
Discard the skin and seeds. If using canned tomatoes you can use the juice that
they come in.
5 Add extra olive oil to the same pan where we cooked the mini meatballs if
needed. Use it to cook the onion on low-medium heat until translucent and sweet
in smell.
6 Add the garlic and tomato paste and cook for one minute while stirring.
7 Add the tomatoes and juices from the seeds along with the bayleaves and let it
warm up.
8 Turn down the heat to a simmer and let the sauce reduce and the tomatoes soften.
When you’re happy with the texture blend it.
9 Return the sauce and meatballs to the pot to heat back up and serve over, pasta,
rice, mashed potatoes.
