π©βπ³ Method
Step 1: Prepare the Meatballs
In a bowl, combine minced meat, breadcrumbs, onion, PIKS Black Pepper, PIKS Red Chilli Powder, PIKS Zeera Powder, PIKS Coriander Powder, salt, coriander leaves, and egg. Mix well and shape into medium-sized meatballs.
Step 2: Cook the Meatballs
Heat a pan with a little oil and shallow-fry the meatballs until golden brown on all sides. Remove and keep aside.
Step 3: Make the Marinara Sauce
In the same pan, heat olive oil. Add garlic and sautΓ© until fragrant. Add tomato puree, salt, PIKS Black Pepper, PIKS Red Chilli Flakes, and PIKS Oregano. Simmer for 8β10 minutes until thick and rich. Add the meatballs and cook for another 5 minutes so they soak up all the flavor π π₯
Step 4: Assemble the Sub
Slice the sub rolls and lightly butter them. Toast until crisp. Fill generously with saucy meatballs, top with cheese slices, and grill or bake until the cheese melts beautifully π§β¨
Step 5: Serve
Garnish with fresh herbs and serve hot with fries or a fresh salad π
