Directions:

For the meatballs:.
Mix the ground beef with the breadcrumbs, garlic, seasoning, parsley and oregano.
Mix well with damp hands and make 10-12 balls.
Cut the mozzarella into 10-12 chunks.
Flatten each meatball and press a piece of mozarella into the centre. Gather the meat around it and pinch to make sure it is sealed.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan and fry for around 10 minutes, turning occasionally.
For the sauce:.
Fry the onion in the pan juices until softened.
Add the tomato paste, orange juice, stock and vinegar.
Bring to the boil, then using a hand blender, puree the sauce a little.
Return the meatballs to the pan and simmer for 25 minutes until cooked through.
Just before serving add the olives. Serve with spaghetti.
