Time 1h

Yield About 2 dozen meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 pound ground beef
1 large egg
3 tablespoons matzoh meal
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon pine nuts
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon cumin
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
4 large tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine the beef, egg, matzoh meal, salt, pepper, garlic, pine nuts, parsley and cumin. Form into meatballs the size of walnuts. Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat and brown the meatballs, about 10 minutes. Remove the meatballs and set aside.
  • Make the sauce: In the same skillet, add the onion, garlic, salt and pepper and saute until the mixture is soft, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and stir well. Add the cinnamon and honey; simmer, uncovered, over medium heat for about 15 minutes, or until the tomatoes are reduced to a sauce.
  • Add the water and the meatballs and simmer over low heat, covered, for 30 minutes. Sprinkle with the 2 tablespoons of parsley before serving.
