Step 1

Put the oil into a large heavy-based frying pan. Add the meatballs and cook over a medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, until lightly browned. Scoop out and set aside. Tip the onion into the pan, lower the heat, season with a little salt and fry for about 10 minutes, until soft and turning golden.
