HOMEMADE ALBONDIGAS IN TOMATO SAUCE

Preparation Time: 1 hour



The homemade meatballs in tomato sauce is a homemade dish of those of a lifetime. Plate "of the grandmother". Little presentation needs this food. The meatballs are balls of meat seasoned with eggs and other ingredients that are passed through flour and fry. They are usually accompanied by some sauce. The most typical are the Spanish sauce or the tomato sauce. On this occasion we will do this second version. The ingredients to prepare homemade meatballs in tomato sauce are as follows



Ingredients


  • 500g minced meat (half veal half pork)
  • 2 garlic cloves for meatballs
  • 3 eggs
  • flour to coat the meatballs
  • Salt and pepper
  • FOR TOMATO SAUCE
  • 2 cloves of garlic for tomato sauce
  • 1.5kg of tomatoes
  • Salt and black pepper
  • Oil
  • optionally 100ml of chicken broth and thyme
  • Salt and pepper



RECIPE OF THE HOUSEBALLS IN TOMATO SAUCE:


1.- Prepare the meatballs. In a bowl we put the minced meat, which is better that it is a mixture of pork and veal so that they are juicier, the cloves of garlic are chopped and the eggs. We pepper. You can add other spices to your taste like cumin, rosemary or thyme. Mix with your hands until there is a homogeneous mass.

2.- Take a small portion of the dough and shape it into a ball. The size you want to give is something personal, but they must have the maximum size of a golf ball. Then we reserve it on a plate, until we have finished shaping the whole dough

3.- Once we have all the balls made we pass them one by one for flour. We make them roll for a plate with flour, which is well smeared with it. Then we return to the plate and, once we have finished with all, we keep the plate with the meatballs in the fridge. While we prepare the tomato sauce

4.- In a pan put a splash of oil to heat. Then add the two garlic cloves and let them brown for a minute.

5.- Once golden add the tomato. You can add dull tomatoes that already come without skin. Much faster to do! If you use fresh tomato, remove the skin. We add their salt and pepper and let them cook for a few minutes, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Until the tomato is crushed

6.- When it has been cooked a little and has been partially crushed (you can help your crushed crush it with the same spoon) optionally you can add 100ml of chicken meat. It will give you more flavor !. Let cook over a low heat for another half hour, while stirring from time to time

7.- While the sauce is cooking, fry the meatballs that have been resting in the fridge. We put them in plenty of very hot oil. We fry them for just a minute, to brown on the outside. It's about sealing them, nothing more. In fact inside they will remain raw. Once fried we put them on absorbent paper

8.- Once the meatballs are fried and the tomato sauce has been cooking for 30 minutes, we only add 1/2 teaspoon of thyme (optional too) and introduce the meatballs into the sauce. Remove with a spoon so that they get well wet from the sauce and let cook 5 more minutes.
