Ingredients
- 500 g Minced beef
- 80 g White bread (stale)
- 100 ml Whole milk
- 2 Stk Garlic cloves
- 10 g Paprika powder (sweet)
- 1 Stk Egg
- 30 ml Olive oil
- 1 Dose Canned tomatoes (peeled, 400 g)
- 5 g Bouillon powder (beef)
- 8 g Salt
- 10 g Parsley (fresh)
Instructions
- 1. Break the stale white bread into pieces and soak it in the milk. Squeeze out the garlic and chop the parsley finely.
- 2. Squeeze the milk out of the bread and mix it in a blender or by hand with the minced meat, egg, garlic, paprika powder, and parsley. The mixture should be homogeneous and sticky.
- 3. Moisten your hands with water. Form approx. 16 equal-sized meatballs (approx. 40 g each) from the mixture.
- 4. Heat the olive oil in a large pan. Fry the meatballs all around over medium heat until brown. Remove them and place them on a plate.
- 5. Add the canned tomatoes to the same pan. Crush them with a ladle directly in the pan. Add the bouillon powder and salt.
- 6. Place the pre-fried meatballs back into the tomato sauce. Cover the pan and let the balls simmer on low heat for 20 minutes.
- 7. Remove the lid. Let the sauce boil gently for another 5-10 minutes until it thickens slightly and the meatballs are cooked through (core temp 72°C).
- 8. Serve the meatballs with the sauce warm, ideally with rice or baguette.
