Method
Preparation of Meatballs
Combine Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground meat, finely chopped herbs, and spices.
Mix Thoroughly
Using your hands or a spoon, mix the ingredients until well combined, ensuring the herbs and spices are evenly distributed.
Form Meatballs
Take a portion of the mixture and roll it into balls, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Chill
Refrigerate the formed meatballs for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape during cooking.
Cooking the Meatballs
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Bake Meatballs
Place the baking sheet with the meatballs in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through and browned on the outside.
Making the Tomato Sauce
Combining and Serving
Combine Meatballs and Sauce
Once the meatballs are cooked, gently add them to the simmering tomato sauce. Allow them to simmer together for an additional 5-10 minutes.
Serve
Serve the meatballs hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired, alongside pasta or crusty bread.
