Yields1 Serving
 2 T canola or olive oil
  2 cloves garlic, smashed

Mix together the meatball ingredients, shape into 1 inch balls and set aside.

2

Heat the oil in a not-too-wide soup pot. Add the garlic and spices, frying for a minute or so.

3

Add the broccoli and meatballs. Pour the tomato juice over the top, adding more if necessary to almost cover the vegetables and meatballs. Scatter the raisins and rosemary on top.

4

Bring to a gentle simmer, cover the pot and cook gently for 30 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked and the vegetables are tender.

5

Don’t stir it after you put everything in the pot- there’s no need and you don’t want to break the meatballs.
