Albondigas en Salsa de Tomate

Ingredients

• •500g ground beef
• •1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• •1 egg
• •4 cloves garlic, minced
• •1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• •1 teaspoon salt
• •1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• •2 tablespoons olive oil
• •800g canned crushed tomatoes
• •1 tablespoon tomato paste
• •1 teaspoon dried oregano
• •1 cup beef broth

Directions

1. 1Combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, half the garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper in a bowl; form into 16-20 meatballs.
2. 2Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat and brown meatballs on all sides, about 8 minutes; remove and set aside.
3. 3In the same pot, sauté remaining garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.
4. 4Add tomato paste and cook for 1 minute, then stir in crushed tomatoes, oregano, and beef broth.
5. 5Return meatballs to the pot and bring sauce to a simmer.
6. 6Cook uncovered for 15-18 minutes until meatballs are cooked through and sauce thickens.
7. 7Taste and adjust seasonings, then serve hot over rice or with bread.

💡 Brown these meatballs before simmering them in tomato sauce; the crust helps them hold together and adds a savoury layer the sauce alone cannot provide.
