    Combine the pork, veal, garlic, spices, bread crumbs, egg and some salt and pepper in a bowl. Mix by hand until fairly smooth and leaving the side of the bowl. Refrigerate, covered, for 30 minutes.

    Roll tablespoons of the mixture into balls.

    Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat and add the onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes, or until transparent.

    Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.

    Increase the heat to high, add the wine and allow to boil for 1 minute.

    Add the tomatoes, tomato paste and stock and simmer for 10 minutes.

    Add the cayenne pepper, peas and meatballs. Simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until thick and the meatballs are coated in sauce. Serve hot.
