Combine passata and extra Pomegranate Fig Balsamic and pour onto meatballs.

Brush on inside of cob and drizzle over the other bread. Place onto a baking tray with bread surrounding cob. Bake in moderate 180/350 degree oven until a little crisp. Remove from oven. Add meatballs and passata mix into center of cob and enjoy.
For extra bonus, add a cube of cheese to the meatballs when rolling.
