I'm going to share with you a recipe for delicious meatballs.
These small round and delicious balls are the perfect choice if you look
to implement meat with plenty of veggies and legumes, just add some
garlic and spices (like cumin) and you got yourself a perfect meal. Kids
just love it, it's easy to make, and it's versatile and has a high
nutritional value!
You can make the meat from minced beef, turkey or poultry, or a combination of them -a great way to combine different tastes and add nutritional value- depends on your choice and taste.
This recipe is well served with puree, rice or spaghetti.
Ingredients (for 2-4 people):
For the meatballs:
0.5 -1 kg of minced meat
2 tsp of minced cumin
10 parsley stems
20 garlic cloves
1 spoon of salt
2 eggs
2 spoons of olive oil
For the sauce:
6 medium and soft tomatoes
10 garlic cloves - squashed
1 spoons of tomato paste
4 spoons of veggie oil
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp sugar
1 tsp of cumin
1/4 tsp of cinnamon
2 1/2 cups of water
Instructions:
Prepare the Meatballs
1) Dice the garlic and parsley and mix with the rest of the meatballs ingredients.
2) Make balls with around 1-2" (3-4 cm) in diameter size.
3) Keep the meatballs in the fridge until the sauce is ready.
Prepare the sauce
1) Chop the tomatoes into small cubes.
2) Warm the oil in a wide flat pan. Add the tomatoes, garlic, salt, sugar and the black pepper. Cook for about 5 min. add the cumin and cinnamon. Dilute the tomato paste with the water and add to the pan. Get the sauce to boil.
Time to add the meatballs
1) Add the meatballs to the pan and arrange them. Cover the pan and cook on medium fire for about 1 h 15 min. If needed add half glass of water.
2) The meatballs are ready! I suggest you to serve them with rice puree or spaghetti. Enjoy!
Some tips
1) You can cook the meatballs on open fire or grill if you prefer. It would be much quicker and tasty, but they will lack the taste and juice of the tomato sauce.
2) You can serve the sauce along with 2-3 spoons of ketchup and some oregano. Kids just love it!
