Steps

1

The day before, put your minced meat in a bowl. Add all your spices(coriander, salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning) With your fingers, work the spices into the meat.
2

Break your egg and beat lightly. Pour into meat and mix in still using fingers. The egg is meant to keep the meat tender.
3

Roll meat into balls between your hands. The bigger the balls, the longer it will take to cook thoroughly.
4

Put meatballs in a bowl, cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
5

Blend your canned tomatoes, fresh tomatoes, peppers, onion and garlic. Chop half onion and set aside.
6

In a saucepan, add vegetable oil and set on heat. Toss in chopped onion and cook lightly.
7

Pour in your blended tomato/pepper mix. Add salt, seasoning cubes and parsley. Stir. Drop in bay leaves.
8

Add your meatballs(I only used about 15 meatballs for this quantity of tomato mix. The rest I stored for use later). Stir gently
9

Cook on medium heat for 30 minutes then turn down the heat for another 15 minutes.
10

Your meatball sauce is ready. Serve with spaghetti.
