Instrucțiuni

1. In a small pan over low heat, melt the butter and cook the finely chopped onion until soft. Make sure not to add any color to the onion. Remove from the heat and leave to cool completely.

2. In a large bowl, mix the meat and onions until well combined. Add the remaining ingredients and really mix well using your hands.

3. Divide into four even portions. If you have a burger press, great. If not, press the burger patties between two sheets of parchment paper, using the base of a saucepan to flatten them. Use right away, or chill in the fridge for a couple days or freeze until needed.

1. Place the burger portions into a bowl and mix in the dried basil.

Divide the mixture into 12 even portions and roll into meatballs.

2. Place a frying pan over medium heat, add the vegetable oil, and fry the meatballs until nicely browned, then transfer to a plate.

3. In the same pan, make the sauce. Add the olive oil and fry the scallions and garlic for about a minute. Pour in the tomato puree, add the roasted pepper and hot pepper flakes, and season with salt and pepper. Once simmering, place the meatballs into the sauce and simmer for 10 minutes.

4. While the sauce is cooking, preheat the broiler/grill and toast the cut sides of the sub rolls.

5. Place the bottoms of the toasted rolls onto a baking tray and spoon the meatballs and sauce on top. Add the mozzarella cheese and put back under the hot broiler to melt the cheese. Once melted, add half the arugula to each roll, top with the sub lids, and serve.
