This can be done in batches if they don’t all fit in the frying pan at once. • Just before meatballs are added to sauce, stir in a generous helping of freeze dried tarragon according to taste (I always use around half a container, approx 3 grams). • Once meatballs are browned add them straight to the sauce pot. • Once all meatballs are added, leave sauce to simmer on lowest possible heat for at least 20 mins. • Taste sauce to check flavour and add any further seasoning if desired. • Meatballs should now be cooked all the way through so serve and enjoy!
