One of the recipes Justine Schofield (a finalist in the first MasterChef series) will be demonstrating next Saturday at the Campsie Food Festival.

To make the sauce: heat the oil in a large heavy based saucepan. On medium low heat fry the onion, garlic and anchovies until soft. Add the tomatoes and bay leaves and soften slightly. Add the white wine and cook off for 5 minutes.  Season with salt and pepper. Add the passata.  Fill the empty jar half way up with water and add to the tomato sauce. Bring to the boil and then turn down to a low heat. Simmer for 1 hour.
For the polpettine: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan and soften onion, chilli and garlic. Remove from pan a cool slightly. In a medium bowl, mix veal and pork mince with beaten eggs, ricotta, parmesan, parsley, thyme, tomato paste, the onion mixture and salt and pepper. With your hands combine well.
Form the mixture into small balls. Drizzle oil in a non-stick frying pan and fry the small meatballs until golden.  Add to the tomato sauce. Cook on low heat for another 40 minutes.
Serve with penne pasta.

The Campsie Food Festival is a celebration of all things multicultural and delicious. The main street (Beamish Street) is closed to traffic as people sample dishes from Korea,  Japan, Thailand, Hungary, Turkey, Fiji, China, Indonesia and more.
