Ingredients

Instructions

1. Using clean hands, mix the beef with half the pesto, a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
2. Divide into 12 pieces and roll into balls with wet hands. Brown the balls all over in a non-stick frying pan over high heat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, shaking the pan often.
3. When the balls are golden, pour in the tomatoes, breaking them up with a wooden spoon, and add a quarter of a tin's worth of water.
4. Bring to a boil, slice the mozzarella and lay it over the balls, cover and simmer on medium heat for 5 minutes to thicken.
5. Meanwhile, warm the buns in a large dry non-stick frying pan or in the oven on low heat.
6. Split each bun and spread 1 heaped teaspoon of pesto inside. Divide the balls and mozzarella among the buns with a little sauce, and serve the rest on the side.
