Yummy dinner.
i cooked the meatballs in the varoma while cooking th sauce and they were great and soft.
i also didnt see where to add the olive oil in the recipe, but added it when the eggplant was cooking

Yum, this was very nice. Thanks! Any reason why you couldnt start cooking the sauce with the meatballs steaming up top? Also, could you add a temperature in the first part of the sauce cooking, I just did it at 100 degrees. The sauce is delicious.
Love this recipe. I cooked
Love this recipe. I cooked the meet balls separate in a pan and rolled and cooked them while the sauce was cooking. Yum.
8/10 Enjoyed this very much
8/10 Enjoyed this very much as sauce was really delicious. Did not add Passata as felt the sauce would be too runny. Added seasoning and put tomato paste in recipe.
I also cooked the meatballs in my healthy fryer as I like the color of them more.

Wasn't a fan, turned out
Wasn't a fan, turned out watery, needed more tomato, I added tomato paste, a little red wine and reduced it further.
I'm confused, the total cook
I'm confused, the total cook time says 40 minutes...but if the meatballs are cooked for 25 minutes, then the zucchini garlic onion eggplant cooks for 20 minutes, and then the rest of the ingredients cook for another 20 minutes...that's over an hour! Isn't that a long time for the meatballs to be sitting in the thermoserver?

Could this be cooked by prepping meatballs, then clean dish & cook sauce & meatballs at the same time? Remove sauce at end of cooking time & then continue cooking meatballs with water if needed?

Hi, thanks for letting me
Hi, thanks for letting me know! I have adjusted the recipe now. I usually cook the zucchini etc at 70 deg for 20 mins... but 100 is fine too - it reduces down and intensifies the flavour! Or just do it for 8-10 mins if I have hungry kids that can't wait!
