 Tomato sauce Recipe: (The following {Sauce} ingredients not included in the chicken ball recipe!)

In a pot, take 2 tea spoons of olive oil. Warm it up. Add 1 tea spoon of garlic & 1/2 tea spoon of chili flakes and cook it for 2 min. on a medium heat. Add 1 Lt of tomato puree or, canned tomato sauce, 2 tea spoons of basil leaves, 1 tea spoon of rosemary, 1 tea spoon of oregano, 1 tea spoon of smoked paprika, 2 tea spoons of sugar (To kill the acidity of the tomato), 100 ml of water or, stock and 2-3 bay leaves. Continue cooking for 7-10 min. Then, add 2 tea spoons of Parmesan cheese (Grated). Season with salt-pepper. Your sauce is ready to go. Keep it hot. This sauce could be made hours/days ahead and warm it up as you need it!

Method:
In a bowl, take all of the ingredients for the chicken ball. Mix it well either by using a dough mixer or, hands. Then, using an ice cream scoop, make some chicken balls. Freeze them for at least 2 hours. Now, on a greased baking tray, bake them in the oven for 10-12 min @ 325 Degrees F. To make sure if they are cooked, cut 1 of the ball in halves and see if there is any red /pink colour inside, or, just cook it till you know it's cooked 100 % Serve hot, topped with the tomato sauce and the garlic bread or, noodles. Nice taste and satisfying!
