Remove them from the pan and throw away the oil, apart from a few teaspoons.
Shallow fry the tomato and peppercorns. Season.
Add the tomato paste, the red wine and the stock diluted in water ( dont add too much water or the sauce will become runny ).
Add a pinch of sugar and a few drops of lemon juice.
Add the meatballs back to the pan and simmer in a very low heat for approximately 10 minutes, until the sauce is nice and thick.
Serve with rice.
