Indulgent fusion: Chicken parmigiana and sausage meatball mash-up in a cheesy tomato sauce. Enjoy the deliciousness!
Ingredients:
  • 375.00 ml panko breadcrumbs
  • 82.50 ml finely grated parmesan
  • 2 eggs
  • 680g packet chicken sausages
  • 56.88 gm extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 brown onion, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 700g bottle passata with basil
  • 40.00 ml finely chopped fresh basil, plus extra leaves, to serve
  • 20.00 ml finely chopped fresh oregano
  • 82.50 ml grated mozzarella
  • Salad, to serve
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C for fan-forced ovens).
  • Mix breadcrumbs and parmesan on a large plate, season with pepper, then whisk eggs with 2 tablespoons of water in a bowl. Transfer sausages from their casings into a separate bowl. Roll sausage mixture into balls using 1 level tablespoon each. Coat each meatball in breadcrumb mixture, dip in egg mixture, then coat again in breadcrumbs. Repeat with the rest of the meatballs.
  • In a large ovenproof frying pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook meatballs in 2 batches, turning occasionally, for 2 to 3 minutes until golden all over. Drain on a plate lined with paper towel.
  • Place onion in the pan and sauté until softened before adding the garlic and cooking until aromatic. Stir in passata, basil, and oregano, and cook until slightly thickened. Gently add the meatballs back to the pan, top with mozzarella, and bake until melted. Finish by garnishing with extra basil before serving alongside a fresh salad.
