Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meatballs

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the sobrasada, cooked chickpeas, minced garlic, chopped onion, parsley, egg, bread crumbs, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Meatballs

    Take small portions of the mixture and roll them into meatballs, about the size of a golf ball.

  3. 3

    Cook the Meatballs

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a separate pot, heat the canned diced tomatoes over medium heat. Add salt and pepper to taste. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes.

  5. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Once the meatballs are cooked, transfer them to the pot with the tomato sauce. Let them simmer together for an additional 5 minutes. Serve hot.
