Albondiga Ingredients
Method
Cooking Directions
Prepare the Meatballs
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, cooked rice, egg, minced garlic, chopped onion, parsley, cumin powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Shape the Meatballs
Form the mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball, and set aside.
Cook the Meatballs
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
Add Sauce and Simmer
Pour the tomato sauce over the meatballs in the skillet. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 15-20 minutes, until the meatballs are cooked through.
Serve
Serve the albondigas warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
