Method

  1. Put the sauce ingredients in a large saucepan or Dutch oven and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Turn the heat to low and cook for 20 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, mix the meat, eggs, onion, matzo meal and cayenne in a large bowl and form small balls.
  3. Add the meatballs to the sauce, cover and cook over medium-low heat for 30 minutes. After 15 minutes, shake the pan gently so the top meatballs settle into the sauce.
