Method
- Carefully squeeze the meat out of the sausage skins, then form into 12 meatballs. Heat half the oil in a non-stick frying pan and fry the meatballs until golden all over, then remove from the pan and set aside.
- Heat the remaining oil and fry the onion for 10 minutes until softened, then add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes more. Add the chopped tomatoes and white beans, then return the meatballs to the pan.
- Simmer gently for 15-20 minutes until the sauce has thickened and the meatballs are cooked (add a splash of water if you think it’s getting too thick). Scatter with the parsley, then serve with steamed rice.
