Veal & Pork Meatballs

For this lovely Spanish recipe we used 100g of veal mince and 100 g of pork mince (to make the meatballs nice and light). We added ginger and chilli.

We added a dollop of tomato puree and let the sauce simmer for 15 minutes. Meanwhile we rescued the mince mix from the fridge and separated it into small portions that we rolled into balls. We browned the meatballs in a pan.
