# Cheesy Meatballs with Tomato Sauce
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Nothing beats meat, cheese and tomato combined together to create the best
|
||
|
|
combination of flavors that man has created.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Ingredients
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The quantities here are for about two adult portions. That is, if you are also
|
||
|
|
making some side dish, like in the photo.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For the meatballs:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* 300-400g of ground beef meat
|
||
|
|
* 1/4 of an onion
|
||
|
|
* ~70g of cheese; I have made with different cheese types, but usually I use
|
||
|
|
Gouda
|
||
|
|
* Parsley
|
||
|
|
* 1-2 garlic cloves
|
||
|
|
* 1 egg
|
||
|
|
* ~1/5 metric cups (~50ml) of bread crumbs
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For the sauce:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* 250ml of water
|
||
|
|
* 8 spoonfuls of tomato paste
|
||
|
|
* Oregano
|
||
|
|
* Basil
|
||
|
|
* Black pepper
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Instructions
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Beat the egg(s) in a large bowl.
|
||
|
|
2. Add in the ground beef, and the bread crumbs and mix.
|
||
|
|
3. Chop the onion into small pieces and add it to the bowl.
|
||
|
|
4. Mince the garlic cloves and add to the bowl.
|
||
|
|
5. Dice the parsley leaves and add to the bowl.
|
||
|
|
6. Salt the beef mix and mix it thoroughly.
|
||
|
|
7. Cut the cheese into cubes. The amount of cubes you will need will depend on
|
||
|
|
how many meatballs you make, which depends on how big you want to make the
|
||
|
|
meatballs. You get the idea.
|
||
|
|
8. Take a cheese cube and wrap with enough ground meat to completely cover it.
|
||
|
|
Repeat this process until you've run out of the ground beef mix.
|
||
|
|
9. Heat the frying pan, add some olive oil, and add the meatballs. Cook over
|
||
|
|
medium heat rolling the meatballs from time to time until they are slightly
|
||
|
|
brown from all sides (wait, spheres have no sides).
|
||
|
|
10. When the meatballs look done, pour the water and tomato paste; add the dried
|
||
|
|
oregano and basil, and ground black pepper; and salt to taste.
|
||
|
|
11. Cook over medium-low heat for about ten minutes rolling the meatballs so
|
||
|
|
that they get completely bathed in tomato sauce.
|
||
|
|
12. Serve with some side dish and enjoy!
