Ingredients:

Serving

500 g raw meatballs ( pork and beef mixture, or any)
3 tbsp olive oil
3 large onions, chopped into half rings
3 garlic cloves, crushed
12 chestnut mushrooms, chopped (optional)
200 g cooked peeled chestnuts
7 sage leaves , soaked in boiling water for 1 minute, drained and chopped
2 bay leaves
150 ml red wine
200 ml pork stock ( a mixture of chicken and beef works well)
salt
pepper

Directions:

Heat half of the oil in a frying pan over a high heat and when almost smoking, throw in the onions and cook fast until they are partially blackened. Set aside.
Next heat the rest of the oil in a large casserole dish over a high heat and brown off the meatballs, (they don't need to be completely cooked as they will cook more later).
Lower the heat and add the blackened onions, garlic and mushrooms if using. cook for 2 minutes being careful that the garlic doesn't burn.
Add the sage, bay leaves, red wine and stock with a touch of salt and plenty of black pepper.
Bring to the boil, lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
Add the chestnuts and simmer for 5 more minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning and serve.
