450g extra lean minced beef
1 large onion, finely chopped and cooked in Frylight until golden and cooled
1 tbsp. spring onions, chopped
Chilli flakes to taste (optional)

400g can chopped tomatoes

Mix the mince, fried onion, spring onions and some seasoning well together.
With damp hands, shape into small meatball shapes (walnut sized).
Spray a large non-stick frying pan well with Frylight and fry the meatballs until well browned. Set aside.
Put the garlic, ginger, cider vinegar and brown sugar into a food processor and whizz for one minute.
Scrape the mixture into a pan and add the tomatoes. Bring to the boil, add the meatballs and simmer gently for about 10 minutes.
Season and add the coriander just before serving.

Lovely with rice or pasta.
