Albondiga Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

1

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.

2

Shape the Meatballs

Form the mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball, and set aside.

3

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.

4

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.

5

Serve

Serve the albondigas warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
