Cooking Instructions for making Meatballs in tomato sauce
In a bowl we put the minced meat, the eggs, the milk, the breadcrumbs, the teaspoon of cumin, the minced garlic cloves and a good handful of minced parsley. Season and mix all the ingredients well.
When we have integrated all the ingredients for our minced meat meatballs in tomato sauce and we obtain a consistent dough, we take a small portion of the mixture and shape it into a ball. We repeat this step until we finish all the dough.
Then we pass each ball in flour that is well coated with it and fry them in abundant hot oil. What we are looking for is that they are cooked on the outside, remaining raw inside. Once fried, place them on absorbent paper.
Once this is done, we begin with the preparation of the tomato sauce that will accompany our meatballs. In a frying pan, add a drizzle of oil and heat it over low heat. When it is hot, add the garlic cloves and the onions, both ingredients chopped. We season. We stir everything briefly while it cooks for about 15 minutes.
After this time, when the onion is soft, add the crushed tomato. We mix again to integrate all the ingredients and let everything cook for another 15 minutes so that the tomato dehydrates.
Then, it is the turn to grind the tomato sauce. To do this, we place the sauce in a shaker or blender glass and crush it so that we do not have lumps.
Again, we pour the sauce into the pan and add the broth to blend it a bit. Now is the time to add the meatballs that we had reserved to finish cooking together with the tomato sauce. Let everything cook for about 20 minutes over medium heat. We serve immediately.
