MMMEATBALLS
In a bowl, combine the mince, ¼ of the diced Onion, ½ the chopped oregano, and seasoning. Wet your hands slightly and shape the mince mixture into 4-5 meatballs. Set aside.
BROWN THE MEATBALLS
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the meatballs until browned but not cooked through, 1-2 minutes per side. Remove from the pan.
MAKE THE MARINARA
Return the pan to medium heat with all the pan juices. Add a knob of butter. When hot, fry the remaining Onion until soft and browned, 3-4 minutes. Add the Spicy Rub and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Pour in the wine and simmer until almost evaporated, 1-2 minutes. Mix in the Tomato Passata, 100ml of water, and simmer until slightly reduced, 5-6 minutes. Add a sweetener (to taste) and seasoning. Mix through the meatballs and pour the mixture into an ovenproof dish.
MELTING MOMENT
Top the saucy meatballs with the halved Bocconcini Balls, the Grated Mozzarella Cheese, and ¾ of the chopped thyme. Pop the dish into the hot oven and roast until the cheese is melted and the meatballs are cooked through, 8-10 minutes.
GARLIC BREAD
In a small bowl, combine the grated garlic, the remaining thyme, 20ml of oil, and seasoning. Place the baguette on a chopping board and cut 4 horizontal incisions along the top - don’t cut all the way through! Smear each incision with the garlic & herb oil and wrap the baguette in tinfoil. Place on a baking tray and pop in the hot oven. Bake until warmed through, 10-12 minutes. In the final 3-5 minutes, remove the tinfoil and bake until crisp.
WINNER OF A DINNER
Plate up the meatballs and all the sauce, and side with the garlic-herb baguette to scoop up all the deliciousness. Garnish with the remaining oregano. Well done, Chef!
