Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
26 oz Pomi chopped tomatoes (or two 15 oz cans diced tomatoes, undrained)
1 lb. 85% lean ground beef
1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

In a wide, heavy saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Add the spices and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the chopped tomatoes. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes, while you're preparing the meatballs.
In a medium bowl, use your hands to gently mix the meat and the spices. Divide the mixture into 24 equal portions (each weighs about 20 grams) and shape them into small, 1-inch meatballs.
Add the meatballs to the sauce. Turn the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil, then lower the heat back to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the meatballs are cooked through, about 30 minutes. Sprinkle the dish with cilantro and serve.
