Meatball Sub

This plant-based meatball sub is all that and some! Using our Deliciou Plant-Based Beef, these meatballs come out juicy and tender. Topped with a rich tomato sauce, stringy mozzarella and served on top of warm crusty bread. Heaven!

1. Preheat oven to 200C/390F. 
2. Combine all the meatball ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Shape mixture into 16 small meatballs, then cover and refrigerate until step 4.
3. In a medium saucepan, add the tomato pasta sauce and Italian herbs, and simmer gently for 5-6 minutes over medium-low heat.
4. Fry the meatballs in a separate pan on medium heat with 3 Tbsp oil for 3-5 mins or until golden all over. 
5. Cut the bread rolls so they open like a clam shell. Add a few meatballs, ladle over the sauce and top with cheese. Bake for 5 mins or until cheese is melted.
