|description=Make up to 35 lovely meatballs from just six sausages - fabulous for pizzas or meatballs and spaghetti
}}

We bought some lovely Italian-style [[Sausages|sausages]] from [[Gourmet sausage maker - Bexley]] ([[Hall Place Farmers' Market, Bexley, Kent]]), but this time, instead of using them as sausages we would extract the [[Sausagemeat|sausagemeat]] from the sausages and make [[Meatballs|meatballs]].

We'll use half of them to make a [[Pizza|pizza]] each and the remainder can be [[Frozen|frozen]] to be used later in a nice [[Tomato sauce|tomato sauce]] with some [[Spaghetti|spaghetti]].

I've added fresh [[Basil|basil]] as it will works very well with the [[Italian sausages]]. Use whatever fresh or dried [[Herbs|herbs]] you feel would suit your particular [[Sausages|sausages]].

{{RecipeIngredients

| 6 meaty [[Italian]]-style [[Sausages|sausages]]
| Pinch of [[Freshly ground black pepper|freshly ground black pepper]]
| 4 tablespoons [[Olive oil|olive oil]]
| 1 small white [[Onion|onion]], very finely chopped
| Bunch of fresh [[Basil leaves|basil leaves]], finely chopped
| 2 tablespoons of [[Yellow cornmeal|yellow cornmeal]]
}}

===Method===
{{RecipeMethod

| With a sharp knife, carefully cut the [[Sausages|sausages]] lengthwise and [[Scoop|scoop]] the [[Sausagemeat|sausagemeat]] from the skins, which you can discard.
| Peel and very finely chop the white [[Onion|onion]].
| Finely chop the fresh [[Basil|basil]].
| Mix the chopped [[Onion|onion]], [[Herbs|herbs]] and [[Sausagemeat|sausagemeat]] together in a bowl and scrunch it together in your hands, squeezing it through your fingers to mix really well.
| Using a teaspoon as a rough measure, roll the mixture into quite small balls - I managed 35 small [[Meatballs|meatballs]] from 6 [[Sausages|sausages]]!
| Toss the [[Meatballs|meatballs]] in [[Yellow cornmeal|yellow cornmeal]].
| Add a pinch of [[Black pepper|black pepper]] to the [[Olive oil|olive oil]] and gently [[Fry|fry]] for about 5 minutes, turning once.

===Serving suggestions===
Ideal for adding to [[Pizzas|pizzas]] or to serve in a [[Tomato sauce|tomato sauce]] with [[Pasta|pasta]].
===Chef's notes===
I'm deliberately using more [[Olive oil|olive oil]] than I really needed to [[Fry|fry]] the [[Sausages|sausages]] in because I want any remaining [[Oil|oil]] from the [[Frying|frying]] to drizzle over the [[Pizza|pizza]] before [[Baking|baking]] it.
