Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup olive oil
2 large onions
4 garlic cloves
1 egg
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
2/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/4 lbs ground beef
16 ounces tomato sauce
2 teaspoons ground cumin
salt and cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Chop the onions and mince the garlic.
  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute the onion and garlic for about 3 minutes.
  • In a large bowl combine egg, milk, breadcrumbs, 1/3 cup parsley, chili powder, and cinnamon. Mix well. Add half of the onion mixture and the beef, season to taste with salt and cayenne, and mix well again.
  • Form the mixture into 2-inch meatballs and place on prepared baking sheet. Spray the tops of the meatballs with cooking spray. Broil 6 inches from heat, turning to brown on all sides.
  • Add tomato sauce and cumin to the remaining onion and garlic mixture in the skillet. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
  • Put the browned meatballs into the sauce. Return to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes. Turn the meatballs occasionally with a slotted spoon while simmering.
  • Top with remaining parsley. Serve meatballs and sauce over couscous or rice.
