Description

The classic of the genre is what in English is called “comfort food”. That is, food that immediately immerses in comfort and childhood memories.

Cooking

Step 1

Meatballs in tomato sauce

Cut into medium pieces, and then grind the beef pulp and lard in a meat grinder. Finely chop the green onion and parsley. Crush the garlic, peel and chop together with the herbs again. Mix the garlic-herbal mass and minced meat. Season with salt and pepper, knead thoroughly with your hands for 5-7 minutes. Add a handful of crushed ice. Cover with cling film and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Step 2

Meatballs in tomato sauce

For the sauce, peel the onion and garlic, finely chop. Sauté the onion and garlic in a large skillet in olive oil until soft, 5 minutes. Add dried thyme, tomatoes along with liquid and 100 ml water; cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, 7-8 minutes. Remove from heat, add finely chopped basil leaves, stir, season with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Meatballs in tomato sauce

Wetting your hands in hot water, roll the meatballs into walnut-sized meatballs. Dip the meatballs in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess.

Step 4

Meatballs in tomato sauce

Heat oil in a large frying pan. Fry the meatballs in batches until golden brown on all sides. Place cooked meatballs on paper towels to drain excess fat. Transfer meatballs to a saucepan with tomato sauce. Warm over low heat under a lid. Serve hot with rice, mashed potatoes or spaghetti.
