Easy Meatballs in Italian style Sauce

YOU NEED:

1 Pack of Sausages
1 Cooking Onion (Finely chopped)
2 Tins Plum Tomatoes
1 Tsp Dried Oregano
1 Tsp Dried Basil
2 Cloves Garlic (grated)
1 Tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
1 Red Onion (sliced)
Salt
Ground Black Pepper

Firstly strip back the sausages removing all the outer skins. Place this meat into a small bowl, add your finely chopped onion and mix together adding salt and pepper. Make into balls however size you like and place on a baking tray. Oven cook for about 10mins, until browning. These will finish off in the sauce.

SAUCE
In a skillet, Empty tins of tomatoes chop the plums into chunks (not too small). Add Garlic, Balsamic vinegar, herbs and Red onion, gently simmering. This needs to reduce and slightly thicken, most of the juices will evaporate. Add salt and pepper. 
Combine the meatballs to the sauce and cover for about 5 minutes.

Serve with pasta of choice.
If you want spicy meatballs add some hot paprika to the sausage mixture.
