Italian Meatball Sub

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
2. In a large frypan over medium heat, cook the meatballs in olive oil until browned on all sides. Remove the meatballs from the pan and set aside.
3. To make the sauce, use the same pan and add the onion and garlic. Fry over medium heat until soft. Add the tomatoes, wine and sugar, reduce heat, and simmer until the sauce has reduced slightly.
4. Return the meatballs to the pan and simmer for approximately 10 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce has thickened. Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper.
5. Cut the rolls in half lengthways and place on a tray lined with baking paper.
6. Place slices of mozzarella in the rolls and place in the oven until the cheese has melted and the rolls are heated through. Top the rolls with the meatballs and sauce, then garnish with fresh basil leaves and cracked black pepper.

1. Beef or chicken stock can be substituted for the rosé in the tomato sauce.
