Method

1

Mix mince, egg, breadcrumbs, garlic and oregano. Roll into about 16 meatballs.

2

Brown meatballs in olive oil, turning gently so all sides colour.

3

Pour in passata, bring to a simmer and cook covered for 15–20 minutes until meatballs are cooked through.

4

Season sauce and serve over pasta or with crusty bread.

Food safety: ensure poultry is fully cooked, handle raw meat separately, and check packaging for allergens. Times are estimates and ovens vary.
