Meatball Sauce

Step 1

To make the sauce, peel and roughly chop the onions. Melt your dripping or warm the oil in a large heavy-based casserole - I use one of 26cm/10in diameter - then add the onion and cook over medium heat, stirring every now and then, for about 15 minutes, or until beginning to soften and get golden in parts. If you want to do this for longer on low heat, do, after you've given them a 5-minute start on medium.

Step 2

While the onions are cooking, peel the garlic and finely chop 3 tablespoons' worth of parsley. When the onions are ready, stir in the dried thyme and chopped parsley, and mince or grate in the garlic. Add the tomatoes, swilling out the empty tins with the water in your jug before pouring it into the pan.

Step 3

Stir in the tomato purée, Worcestershire sauce and salt and then turn up the heat to bring to the boil. Once boiling, turn down the heat a little and leave to simmer for 10 minutes.
