Brown meatballs; drain., For sauce, in a Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic; cook and stir 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes, 2 cups water, tomato sauce and paste, parsley, cheese, basil, sugar and pepper; bring to a boil.

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine ground veal, ground pork, and ground beef. Add eggs, parsley, garlic, cheese, bread crumbs, black pepper cayenne pepper, and salt; mix well.
• Shape into meatballs (golf ball size).
• Place meatballs on a baking sheet and bake in a 350 degree oven about 35 minutes until done, turning once.

Steps:

• Combine all of the above ingredients in a bowl and mix. Form the mixture into desired sized meatballs. Heat a large cast iron frying pan with a ¼ inch of canola oil. Add the meatballs; but do not overcrowd the pan. Cook until a nice golden color forms on the meatballs and then turn to continue cooking on all sides. When the meatball becomes firm it is cooked. The less firm the less cooked it will be. Serve with grated Parmesan or Romano cheese, cut fresh basil and red sauce if desired.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together ginger, garlic, cumin and salt. Add pork, panko and basil. Using your hands, gently mix everything together, making sure not to overwork the mixture. (Otherwise, the meatballs get tough.) Form into 1 1/4-inch balls.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high, then add the oil and let it heat up until it thins out. Add meatballs in one layer. Cook, turning and shaking the pan, until meatballs are browned all over, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Pour the wine into the skillet and move meatballs over to one side of the pan, scraping up the browned bits. Add peaches, a pinch of salt and 2 tablespoons water to the empty side of pan. When peaches are simmering, cover the pan, lower the heat to medium, and let cook until the meatballs are no longer pink at their centers, and the peaches juicy and tender, about 5 to 10 minutes longer.
• Uncover the pan. If the mixture seems too runny, let it cook down for another minute or so. The peaches should break down into a chunky sauce. Hard or unripe peaches may take a few extra minutes.
• Add the onions to the pan and mix them in so they wilt slightly. Squeeze lime juice all over everything, then taste and add salt and lime juice, as needed. Sweeter peaches will need more lime juice, tart ones, less.
• Serve the meatballs sprinkled with more cumin and garnished with torn basil leaves, over the rice or greens.
