    Preparation Steps

    1

    In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, breadcrumbs, egg, finely chopped onion, crushed garlic, and chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

    2

    Shape the mixture into evenly sized meatballs and place them on a tray.

    3

    In a large skillet, heat one tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides. Set them aside.

    4

    In the same skillet, heat the remaining olive oil. Add the tomato puree, sugar, and dried oregano. Stir well to combine.

    5

    Return the meatballs to the tomato sauce. Cover and simmer over low heat for 15-20 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the flavors have melded.

    6

    Serve the meatballs hot, garnished with fresh parsley. Serve with spaghetti, boiled potatoes, or fresh bread for dipping.
