1tsp cumin
¼ bunch pf parsley, chopped
1 slice of sour dough, soaked in a splash of Beyond the Wilderness pinot noir

Method
In a bowl mix together the passata with the chilli flakes, olive oil and sea salt.
In a bowl combine the meatball ingredients and mix. Roll into golf ball sized meatballs and place into a frypan with a drizzle of oil over a medium heat. Cook until golden on the outside.
Pour half the spiced passata into an oven safe baking dish, ideally one you can serve the meatballs in. Add in the meatballs and top with the remaining passata. Place into a 180 deg c oven and bake for 15 minutes.
