Serving

1 onion, finely chopped
8 oz ground pork

2 oz fresh breadcrumbs, toasted
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1 egg, beaten

1 chipotle chile , seeds removed and soaked in a little water for 15 minutes
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
3/4 cup beef stock

7 tbsp passata
cooked rice
3 sprigs oregano

Directions:

To make the meatballs; mix the onion with the pork and beef.

Add the egg, and mix thoroughly.
Roll the mixture into 2in balls
Heat the oil in a frying pan, add the meatballs and fry for 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned.
To make the sauce; finely chop or mince the chilli. If you want less heat, mince with the soaking water and then use just half of the resulting paste.
Put the oil, chipotle, onion, garlic, stock, tomatoes, passata, salt and pepper into a large pan or flame-proof casserole dish. Bring to the boil and simmer for 5 minutes, then stir in the stock.
Add the meatballs to the sauce and simmer for 10 minutes to heat through.
