Notes From the Method

Wet your hands to roll the meatballs.

Keep them small so they are easy to eat.

Keep warm in a slow cooker on low for a party.

If You're Missing Something

• Dried chilli flakes can stand in for the chilli. Heat varies a great deal between chillies and between jars, so start with a small pinch and add more to taste.

Storing and Reheating

Keeps in the fridge for 4 days and freezes for up to 3 months.
