Method

Meatball Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine ground pork, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, egg, parsley, salt, black pepper, and cumin. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.

  2. 2

    Form Meatballs

    Shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet.

  3. 3

    Cook Meatballs

    Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the meatballs for 20-25 minutes until cooked through and browned.

Tomato Sauce Preparation

  1. 4

    Cook Onions and Garlic

    In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

  2. 5

    Add Tomatoes and Spices

    Add crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to the saucepan. Simmer for 15-20 minutes to let the flavors meld.

    Once the meatballs are done baking, add them to the tomato sauce and simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
