Albondigas Con Salsa De Tomate Spanish Style Meatballs Recipes

Steps:

• Combine meatball ingredients in a bowl.
• Shape mixture into balls.
• Cook in 2 tbspns olive oil, turning frequently.
• Add sauce ingredients to pan.
• Cover and cook gently, about 15 minutes; until tomatoes are pulpy and meatballs are cooked through.

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.

Steps:

• Mix the ground beef with the egg and half of the chopped onion. Season with one stock cube and black pepper.
• Pour olive oil into a large pot and heat. Roll the meat mixture into the size of ping pong balls and add them to the oil. Fry until almost done then add the rest of the onion and fry together for another couple of minutes.
• Add tomatoes to the meatballs; add the red wine, the other stock cube and black pepper to season. Let everything simmer for another 15 minutes.

Steps:

• In batches, puree tomatillos, onion, garlic and chipotles in blender or food processor. Pour into saucepan large enough to hold sauce and meatballs. Stir in beef broth and bring to boil on medium-high heat. Lower heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Season with Adobo.
• Season beef and turkey (or pork) with Adobo. In bowl, combine meat, soaked bread crumbs, eggs, onion, minute, cilantro and oregano. Mix thoroughly.
• To form meatballs, put 1 heaping tablespoon of meat in palm of hand and roll into ball, about the size of a walnut. Continue until all meatballs are formed.
• Add meatballs to sauce, cover and simmer for 25 minutes. Ths sauced should just cover meatballs. Stir occasionally, adding water if necessary. Served in heated dish, sprinkled with chopped cilantro.

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.
