• Heat the oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Add the meatballs and brown on all sides.
• Whisk together the sauce ingredients and pour over the meatballs. Place in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. If you are not using an oven-safe skillet, transfer to a casserole dish before pouring over the sauce.
