Makes approx 32

Tomato Sauce:

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 large onion, peeled and finely chopped ½ green capsicum, finely chopped

5 cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped

2 x 400g cans peeled, diced tomatoes

2 teaspoons brown sugar, firmly packed

1 teaspoon sea salt, optional

Meatballs:

3 slices white bread, crusts removed

1 cup/250ml milk

500g lean minced lamb

1 medium onion, peeled and finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped

2 teaspoons dried oregano leaves

¼cup chopped parsley 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 teaspoon sea salt

Freshly ground black pepper, optional

1.For the tomato sauce, heat oil in a saucepan, add onion, capsicum and garlic, sauté gently for 12-15 minutes or until onion is soft. Add tomatoes, sugar and salt, cover with a lid, bring to the boil, lower heat and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

. For the meatballs, place bread and milk together in a bowl and soak until bread is very soft and milk has been absorbed, about 20 minutes.

3.Remove bread from milk, place into a colander and press bread until most of the liquid is removed. Discard liquid and place bread into a large bowl.

4.Add remaining meatball ingredients to bread, mix well. Roll into balls, about 3–4cm in diameter.

. Fill water reservoir to MAX level and insert the drip tray.

6.Divide meatballs equally into steamer baskets

(–) and (=). Place steamer baskets onto steamer and cover with lid.

7.Set steaming timer to 15 minutes. Adjust for shorter or longer cooking time as required.

. Remove meatballs when cooked and serve hot, drizzled with tomato sauce.

When steaming for a longer time, ensure the water reservoir is filled to the maximum MAX level on the water window before operation commences. During the longer cooking time ensure the water does not fall below the minimum MIN level. However, do not refill to the MAX level during operation. Allow the water to reach the MIN level then add extra water to align with the TOP-UP level on the water window. Do not refill past the TOP-UP line when the food steamer is in operation.
