I didnt find the sauce to be too runny with the passata and tomatoes added together
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 the meet balls separate in a pan and rolled and cooked them while the sauce was cooking. Yum.
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.

Sorry I am a thermomix novice but what speed do I set the eggplant mixture to?

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 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?
Yes definitely - thanks for your comment. I have cooked them this way, and it was great.
Excellent! Thanks for the comment. I love sneaking in more veg when I can!
