Sicilian meatballs in arrabbiata sauce

HERE'S HOW WE MAKE IT

These meatballs sum up what's best about Sicilian food, with all the sunshine-y flavours of the Med and an unexpected Moorish twist. We're making our meatballs with beef mince, flavoured with Parmesan, lemon zest, herbs, toasted almonds and currants soaked in balsamic vinegar. We roast them in the oven to keep them tender and then dish them up in an oven-ready tray before blanketing them in a lightly spiced, tomato-based sauce, scattered with basil, mozzarella and more Parmesan.
