METHOD

Meatballs-Note: Make sure your mince is washed and well drained. It should not be wet. I squeeze the excess water out. 1. In a large bowl combine all of the meatball ingredients together EXCEPT for the mince. 2. Mix and leave for 10min so the crackers can soak up the liquid.3. Add the mince and mix just until combined (don't over mix).4. Preheat the oven to 200°C. 5. Line a baking tray with foil. 6. Form 16 meatballs, about the size of golf balls, and gently sprinkle all around them with flour.17. Place the meatballs, an inch apart, on the baking tray and bake for 20min or until just cooked. 18. While the meatballs cook, make the sauce.
Sauce-1. Sautè onion in oil until translucent.2. Add the rest of sauce ingredients to onions and stir to combine. 3. Simmer for 10min.4. When the meatballs are finished baking, place them in the sauce and simmer together for 5min.
Assembly-1. Slice the rolls in half and spoon in meatballs and sauce.2. Generously sprinkle over cheese.3. Bake in oven for 2-3min or until rolls are toasted and cheese is melted. 4. Remove from oven. Sprinkle on chopped parsley and serve.#whenruhanacooks
