Instructions:
Season the ground meat:
- In a bowl, combine the ground meat, half of the finely chopped onion, egg, breadcrumbs, and parsley. Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
Shape the meatballs:
- Shape the ground meat mixture into meatballs about 50 grams (1.7 oz) in size. Dredge them in flour.
- In a preheated pan with oil, fry the meatballs on both sides until golden brown. You don’t need to fry them all the way through, just until they firm up.
Prepare the vegetables:
- In a saucepan with oil, sauté the onion, carrots, and bell peppers for 2-3 minutes, until softened.
- Add the canned tomatoes, potatoes, 500 ml (17 fl oz) of water, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir and bring to a boil.
- Once the dish boils, add the meatballs and distribute them evenly. Reduce the heat and simmer on low heat until the potatoes are cooked through, about 40 minutes.
Garnish the finished dish with finely chopped fresh parsley.
Enjoy!
Here are some additional tips:
- You can use any type of ground meat for this recipe, but a combination of beef and pork is traditional.
- If you don’t have bread crumbs, you can substitute them with grated dry bread.
- You can also add other vegetables to the dish, such as zucchini, celery, or green beans.
- To make the dish even more flavorful, you can marinate the ground meat in your favorite marinade for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- Serve the dish with a side of rice, mashed potatoes, or bread.
Please note:
- The original recipe calls for simmering the dish for 40 minutes. You can also simmer it for a longer period of time for a thicker sauce and softer potatoes.
- The recipe also calls for serving the dish with rice, mashed potatoes, or bread. You can also serve it with other side dishes, such as a salad or vegetables.
I hope you enjoy this recipe!
