A simple recipe for really delicious family food. Perfect for cold nights when you just want to get stuck into something hearty and warming. The meatballs on their own make a wonderful appetizer with a salsa, and the chili can be served on its own as a vegetarian option. Serve with natural yogurt or sour cream, guacamole, cheese, avocado, tomato and red chilli.
