1.2 kg good-quality minced meat (beef, buffalo or a mixture)
1 heaped teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon dried oregano
a pinch of cumin seeds bashed up in a pestle and mortar
1 teaspoon coriander seeds bashed up in a pestle and mortar
2 handfuls of breadcrumbs
2 large free-range eggs
100 g freshly grated Cheddar cheese
1 large red onion peeled and finely diced
2 red or yellow peppers deseeded and roughly chopped
10 cloves of garlic peeled and finely sliced
1-2 fresh red chillies deseeded and finely chopped, to taste

6 tablespoons cider vinegar
6 tablespoons molasses or dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
400 ml hot coffee
3 plum tomatoes quartered
½ a bunch of fresh flat-leaf parsley (15g)

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to its highest setting. Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Cook diced onions for 10 minutes until softened, then let them cool completely. Combine minced meat with mustard, oregano, cumin, coriander, breadcrumbs, eggs, salt, pepper, and cooled onions in a bowl. Shape the mixture into 8 rounds, then stuff each with grated cheese. Bake the meatballs in an oiled dish for 25-30 minutes until golden. In the same pan, cook onion, peppers, garlic, fresh chillies, and paprika in olive oil for 15 minutes. Add Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, vinegar, molasses, mustard, coffee, and tomatoes. Simmer the sauce for 20 minutes until thick. Spoon the sauce over the cooked meatballs and bake for an additional 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with rice or mashed potatoes and a green salad. Enjoy these hearty cowboy meatballs!
