MMMMM---------------------------SAUCE--------------------------------
      1    Red onion; chopped
           Olive oil to cover bottom of
           - small saucepan
      1 tb Capers
      1 tb Light brown sugar
      2 tb White wine vinegar
  1 1/2 c  Your favorite tomato sauce
 
  Mix all meatball ingredients together except for Wondra
  and 1/3 cup olive oil. Set aside.
  
  Heat remaining olive oil for meatballs in small sauté
  pan over medium-high heat.
  
  Form meatballs into ovals, using about 3 tbsp of tuna
  mixture per meatball. Dredge on all sides in Wondra.
  
  Sear in small batches, 30-60 second per side (until
  golden brown). The centers should still be rare. Remove
  to a plate and set aside while assembling sauce.
  
  Cover bottom of small saucepan with olive oil, and heat
  over medium-high. Add the onions and capers, cook 5
  minutes. Tip: if the onions are cooking too fast instead
  of caramelizing, add a dash of water to the pan to slow
  down the cooking process.
  
  Add the tomato sauce, brown sugar and vinegar, season
  with salt and pepper
  
  Simmer for 5 minutes over low heat, but do not thicken.
  
  For plating, spoon sauce on bottom of dish and rest
  meatballs on top.
