This recipe comes from Curtis Stone's new book Whats for dinner?
Ingredients
Directions
Tomato Sauce
Heat the oil in a heavy wide pot over medium-high heat.
Add the shallots and garlic and sauté until tender about 2 minutes.
Add the thyme and bay leaf.
Add the wine and tomatoes and bring to a simmer.
Simmer very gently uncovered over medium-low heat stirring occasionally until the tomatoes break down to form a chunky sauce (you may need to add a little water during the cooking process if the sauce thickens too much) about 1½ hours.
Stir in the basil.
Season the sauce to taste with salt and pepper. Remove the thyme stems and bay leaf.
Meatballs
Combine the turkey breadcrumbs shallots garlic parsley thyme mustard salt and paprika in a large mixing bowl.
Add the egg.
Using your hand gently mix just until blended.
Form the mixture into 6 to 8 meatballs.
Heat the oil in a heavy large frying pan over medium heat.
Fry the meatballs until golden brown all over about 12 minutes.
Using a slotted spoon transfer the meatballs to the tomato sauce.
Simmer gently until the meatballs are cooked through and the flavors are well married about 10 minutes.
Transfer the meatballs and the tomato sauce to serving bowls.
Using a Microplane rasp grater grate the cheese over the meatballs and serve.
I served mine on pasta, very nice.
