Steps:
- For the meatballs, Put the minced meat in a bowl with the onion, garlic, parsley and breadcrumbs. Mix with your hands until well combined, add the beaten egg and mix until well combined. Shape the mixture into small meatballs.
- Sprinkle some plain flour onto a plate, and roll the meatballs in the flour to coat lightly.
- Heat one tablespoon of the olive oil in a frying pan and add a few meatballs to the pan. Fry gently, turning frequently, until golden-brown on all sides. Remove from the pan and set aside to drain on kitchen paper. Repeat with the remaining meatballs, cooking them in batches until they are all cooked. Top up the oil as needed during the cooking process.
- Once the meatballs are cooked, make the sauce. In the same pan as the meatballs were cooked in, fry the carrots, onions and garlic over a medium heat until the onions are soft and lightly coloured. Add the parsley, paprika and saffron, and pour in 300ml/½pt water. Bring to the boil, simmer for 2-3 minutes to thicken, season with salt to taste, and then add the meatballs to the pan. Simmer for 10 minutes to warm through before serving.

ALBONDIGAS (SPANISH MEATBALLS)
A very popular Spanish tapas dish - I can't vouch for the authenticity, but it tastes great. Lamb can be used as a substitute for beef if desired. Taken from my blog at http://onceuponathyme.wordpress.com/2008/11/30/albondigas-spanish-meatballs/

Steps:
- Mix the mince with the egg and half the onion. Season with 1 stock cube and black pepper.
- Roll the mixture with your hands into ping pong sized balls and fry in oil until almost cooked (the meatballs can still be slightly pink in middle as they are going to simmer in the sauce). Drain all but 1tbsp oil in the pan, retaining the bit's of meat that are left in the bottom of the pan. Add the rest of the onions and some garlic and fry for a further 2 minutes - they should turn a beatiful meaty colour.
- Add the 2 tins of chopped tomatoes and a good sprinkling of mixed herbs (I used Herbs de Provence). Add in the red wine and crumble in the final stock cube, then season again if required.
- Simmer for 20 minutes so that the sauce thickens - longer if it requires it.
- Serving Suggestion - This can be served on it's own as part of a tapas meal, or you could serve these with spaghetti or some Spanish rice.
