SPANISH MEATBALLS IN TOMATO SAUCE - ALBONDIGAS RECIPE

Steps:

• Make meatballs: Place the ground meat, grated garlic cloves, lightly beaten egg, dried breadcrumbs, parsley, sweet, smoked, hot paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix well with your hand. Form between 30 and 35 small meatballs, about the size of a walnut.
• Fry meatballs: Heat the oil in a large skillet. Fry the meatballs (in two batches if necessary) until brown on all sides. This will take about 5 minutes. Take the meatballs out of the pan and set them aside.
• Chop the onion very finely.
• Saute: Heat the 2 tablespoons olive oil in the same skillet. Add the onion and cook it until translucent. Add the finely chopped garlic cloves and stir for another minute.
• Simmer: Add the tomatoes from the can, fennel seeds, oregano, bay leaves, cayenne pepper, and chopped parsley. Add some salt and pepper as well. Stir well and bring to a boil. Simmer on medium-low heat for 20 minutes or until slightly thickened.
• Add the meatballs to the pan and heat them in the sauce for about 5 minutes or cooked through.
• Serve as suggested above.

SPANISH MEATBALLS RECIPE

Steps:

• Soak the bread in the milk. While the bread is soaking, chop the garlic very finely and put it in a bowl.
• Add meat, egg, soaked bread, chopped parsley, and a little salt. Mix everything until it is well integrated.
• Take portions of the mixture and give them a round shape. Coat them in flour and fry them in a pan with plenty of hot oil. When they get golden brown on all sides, take them out and set them aside on a plate with kitchen paper to remove the excess oil.
• Now chop the onions, carrots, and garlic very finely. Sauté everything in a saucepan with a dash of oil and fry it for about 5 minutes. Season, add the spoon of flour, and stir it until it dissolves.
• Pour in the wine, the tomato sauce, and a cup of water or broth. Let it cook for about 25 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally so that the flour doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot.
• As soon as the sauce is made, pass it through a blender or mixer. Finally, pour the sauce into the casserole, add the meatballs and let it cook all together for approximately 10 minutes.
