Place the mince into a medium bowl and mix the beef and pork together. Then add the onions, garlic, tomato paste, breadcrumbs, raisins, milk, spices, egg, pepper and salt and using your hands, mix well together.

Then form the mince into golf ball size balls and bake on kitchen paper in the oven at 200c for 20 minutes so the meatballs are lightly brown and firm.

While the meatballs are cooking, in a heavy based pan add a little olive oil and fry down the onions and garlic until caramelised then add the mushrooms and the butter and cook down until soft.

Next add the the marsala and cream and stir well so as to blend in with the mushrooms then add the cooked meatballs from the oven and top with the mushroom sauce.
