TUNA MEATBALLS
One day I didn´t have any kind of meat at home, but I saw two cans of tuna on the shelf and said to myself: if I cook other kind of meatballs why not make tuna meatballs. I cooked them, my kids and husband loved them since then, and I still cooking them. It is very easy, I hope you like it!

Steps:
- For the meatballs: In a mixing bowl, add the tuna, egg, bread crumbs, raisins, pine nuts, Parmigiano cheese, and 1/2 cup wine. Combine the ingredients together using your hands. To absorb any excess moisture, add flour. Wet your hands and make compact little balls with the mixture. Repeat with the remaining mixture. Dip the uncooked tuna balls in the sesame seeds.
- Heat up extra-virgin olive oil in a saucepan. Gently place the meatballs in the hot oil and fry until golden brown. Turn the balls over to cook on all sides. Transfer to a plate lined with an absorbent paper towel.
- For the balsamic sauce: Add the balsamic vinegar to a saucepan and cook on high heat. Add the rosemary and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to minimum. Let the balsamic reduce to half or when the sauce resembles a thick consistency. Drizzle the balsamic sauce over the meatballs.

Steps:
- First you need to make your meatballs.
- Chop the tuna up into 1-inch/2.5 cm dice. Pour some olive oil into a large frying pan and place on the heat. Add the tuna to the pan with the pinenuts and cinnamon. Season lightly with salt and pepper and fry until the tuna is brown on all sides and the pinenuts are toasted.
- Remove from the heat and put the mixture into a bowl. Allow to cool down for 5 minutes, then add the oregano, parsley, breadcrumbs, parmesan, eggs and lemon juice to the bowl.
- Using your hands mix the flavors into the tuna, then divide the mixture and squeeze it into meatballs slightly smaller than a golf ball. (If you dip one of your hands in water while shaping, you'll get a smooth surface on the meatball.) If the mixture's very sticky, add a few more breadcrumbs. Keep the meatballs around the same size and place them on a tray lined with baking parchment, put them in the fridge for an hour to let them rest.
- Whilst the meatballs are in the fridge you need to make your sauce. Place a large pan on the heat, add a generous amount of olive oil, the onion and garlic, and fry slowly for about 10, until soft.
- Add the oregano, the tomatoes, salt, and pepper and bring to a boil. Simmer for 15 minutes and then blend until smooth. Add some red wine, chilli sauce, if using, and season.
- Heat your oven to 250 degrees celcius. Take your meatballs out of the fridge and put them straight into the oven between 10 to 15 minutes or until they are goldenand cooked through.
- When they're done, add them to the tomato sauce, sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve with spaghetti, linguine or tagliatelle.

- These have to be made with fresh fish and they are subtly seasoned with Sicilian herbs and spices – this recipe is just as good as the meat versions!First make your sauce.
