Albondiga Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meatballs

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, cooked rice, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

  2. 2

    Form the Meatballs

    Shape the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a plate.

  3. 3

    Cook the Meatballs

    In a large skillet, heat the tomato sauce and water over medium heat. Once it starts to simmer, gently add the meatballs to the skillet.

  4. 4

    Simmer

    Cover and simmer for about 20 minutes, occasionally stirring gently to prevent sticking. The meatballs are done when they are cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the albondigas hot, garnished with additional chopped parsley if desired.
