• 2 tablespoons tomato sauce
• 2 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped

1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
2. Place mince, breadcrumbs, onion, carrot, tomato sauce, parsley and egg in a large bowl.
3. Season with salt and pepper. Using clean hands, mix until well combined.
