Prepare the tomato sauce
Combine all ingredients with a good drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper.
Roast the tomato mixture at 180°C for 15-20 minutes until the tomatoes and chillies are well charred.
Blend the mixture to a puree, season to taste and pass the tomato sauce through a sieve.
Prepare the meatball mixture
Sweat the onions with a drizzle of olive oil over a medium heat until translucent.
Add the garlic and the Italian seasoning, stir to combine and cook a little longer. Allow to cool.
Combine the vegan mince with the cooked onions, parsley and season with salt and pepper.
Divide the vegan mince mixture into 20 gr parcels. Roll to shape every meatball and place them on a platter.
Sear the meatballs in olive oil over a medium heat and cook until ready.
Arrange the spicy tomato sauce on the bottom of a plate with the vegan meatballs on top.
- The meatball can be pan-fried or baked.
- When pan-frying make sure they don’t touch to guarantee a nice brown colour all-around.
