• Add the onion to the pan, with a little extra oil if needed, and cook gently with a pinch of salt for 10 minutes until soft, then add the garlic and tomato purée and cook for 1 minute. Tip in the tomatoes and a tin of water. Simmer gently for 15 minutes, then tip in the roasted red peppers and add the meatballs back to the pan with any juices from the plate. Simmer for 15 minutes until thickened, then season.

• Scatter over the dill and remaining parsley, and serve with flatbreads, if you like.
