Prepare the super crispy deep ridged crinkle slices according to the cooking instructions.
-
Mix the minced meat, egg, bread crumbs, garlic, onion, dried oregano, salt and pepper in a bowl until everything is well combined.
-
Form the mixture into small meatballs, about the size of a ping-pong ball.
-
Heat 2 tablespoons of neutral oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the meatballs in the hot oil until golden brown on all sides. Remove them from the pan and set aside.
-
In the same pan, add some more neutral oil as needed and sauté the chopped onion and garlic until softened, about 2 minutes.
-
Add the red and yellow bell bell pepper strips to the pan and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.
-
Add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, dried basil, salt and pepper to the pan. Stir well and simmer for 10-15 minutes, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
-
Add the fried meatballs and olives to the sauce. Simmer for another 10 minutes, allowing the meatballs to cook and all the flavors to come together.
