Method
Ingredients
- 500g pork mince
- 1 onion, finely diced
- 1 egg, beaten
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 Tbsp hot sauce of your choice (we used sriracha)
- ¼ cup roughly chopped fresh herbs (we used oregano and basil)
- 1 cup tomato passata
- 2 mini baguettes cut in half or 1 large baguette cut into 4
Method
- In a large bowl combine pork mince, half the onion, egg, one garlic clove, a tablespoon of hot sauce and half the fresh herbs. Season with salt and pepper. Mix until well combined and roll into 12 balls.
- Bring a drizzle of oil to medium-high heat in a large frying pan. Cook the meatballs for a few minutes on each side or until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- To make the spicy marinara sauce, using the same pan, add a drizzle of olive oil and sauté the remaining onion and garlic for a few minutes or until softened. Add tomato passata and the remaining hot sauce, then cook until the sauce begins to bubble. Remove from the heat.
- Cut the baguettes in half horizontally, butter each side and lightly toast in a preheated oven. Place meatballs down the length of one half of the baguettes.
- Spoon the spicy marinara sauce over the meatballs, garnish with remaining herbs and top with the other baguette half. Enjoy.
