Roll into 16 small balls (having wet hands is easier). Place meatballs on a tray and refrigerate for 10 minutes
Heat oil in a lidded frying pan. Brown meatballs over a high heat. Remove from pan and set aside
Reduce the pan heat. Add onion, garlic, red capsicum and celery. Cook over a low heat until vegetables soften. Add chilli flakes and stir in tomato paste
Add Wattie’s Black Beans. Pour over Wattie’s Mexican Style Tomatoes. Bring sauce to the boil. Add browned meatballs. Reduce heat. Cover. Simmer for 30 minutes until meatballs are cooked
Serve over cooked brown rice and garnish with fresh coriander leaves. Serve with steamed green beans
