Albondigas

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Albondigas

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, chopped onion, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined. Form the mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball.

  2. 2

    Brown the Albondigas

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add a bit of oil and brown the albondigas on all sides. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Sauce

    In the same skillet, add canned tomatoes, additional minced garlic, salt, pepper, and any desired spices (like cumin or chili powder). Simmer for about 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Combine and Cook

    Return the albondigas to the skillet with the sauce, cover, and let them simmer in the sauce for 20-25 minutes until cooked through.
