1 can diced tomatoes in sauce
1 egg
3 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin

Delicious Italian meatballs in tomato-mozzarella sauce

1. Hold the bread under running water until it soaks up the water, then squeeze it out. Put the ground beef in a mixing bowl and add the bread, egg, oregano, Italian seasoning, chili powder, cumin and salt and pepper. Wet your hands (or rub a little olive oil on them), knead the meat and roll about 8 balls.

2. Heat the frying pan and melt a generous knob of butter. Brown the meatballs on all sides so they get a nice color. They don't need to be completely cooked through yet; they'll go back into the pan later. Remove the meatballs from the pan and set aside.

Cooking mode Prevents your screen from going to sleep

Serve the meatballs with freshly baked bread or pasta to make the most of the sauce. Sprinkle some fresh basil over the dish before serving for a bright finish.

Store any leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge. The meatballs taste even better the next day because the flavors have had time to develop.
