Method
- Place onion in an AMC 20 cm Kombi. Pour boiling water over and leave to stand for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile soak bread in stock and mash with a fork when soft.
- Place all the ingredients, except oil, in an AMC 24 cm Dome. Mix well and season to taste. Roll into balls.
- Heat an AMC 24 cm Fry Pan or 28 cm Chef's Pan over a medium temperature until the Visiotherm reaches the first red area. Add oil and fry meatballs on both sides until golden brown, then spoon out.
- Add the tomato and onion mix to the frying pan along with 100 ml water. Simmer for 15 - 20 minutes without the lid, until the sauce thickens slightly.
