Classic American sandwich snack, inspired by some ready made reduced meatballs and some reduced buns. Really simple, easy and tasty.
Ingredients:
Meatballs (25 meatballs, reduced from £3 to £2.25)
Bread buns (6 bread buns, reduced from £1.49 to 75p)
Tomato passata - 35p
Balsamic vinegar (substitute for Worcestershire Sauce)
Lemon juice
Black pepper
Mozarella (leftover - use any cheese to melt on the sandwich)
Oil
With a tiny bit of oil, fry the meatballs on a high heat, browning them.
Turn down the heat and cook through.
Drain excess fat from the pan.
Add tomato passata (I had a carton of passata in the cupboard. Substitute could be tinned chopped tomatoes and some tomato paste.)
Season the passata with a tiny slug of balsamic vinegar (this was all I had) and a dash of lemon juice. Grind in some black pepper. This is all optional, to flavour the passata. The one I used was really sweet.
Bring the passata to a bubbling high heat, then simmer for a few minutes.
To serve, put the meatballs with sauce into a bread bun or roll and be generous with a topping of cheese, added quickly so that it melts on the heat of the meatballs.
