Categories     Beef

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 oz each ground beef and lamb
1 medium onion, grated
2 eggs
1 bunch flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
1 red bell pepper, diced
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 14-oz. can tomatoes, chopped
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 c water
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
small bowl of water with a tiny bit of olive oil to shape the meatballs

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine the grated onion, eggs and parsley and mix well.
  • 2. Stir in ground meat and season with salt (1-2 tsp.) and ground black pepper to taste. Knead for 3-5 minutes until mixed well. Cover meat and let sit in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • 3. Heat olive oil and add onion, bell peppers and garlic. Saute approx. 5 minutes; stirring often. Add the chopped tomatoes and add 1 cup water. Stir, cover and cook on medium-low heat for 10 minutes. Turn off heat.
  • 4. Remove meat from refrigerator. Wet your hands and take a small walnut-sized amount of meat mixture and roll into a ball. Place the meatballs on a baking tray and bake for 25 minutes or until they get a nice golden brown coating.
  • 5. Transfer the baked meatballs to a large baking dish and pour the tomato sauce around them giving a gentile mix. Bake for 15 minutes. During cooking the sauce will thicken and coat the meatballs. Serve hot with plain rice and if desired, a cucumber, mint and yogurt dip.
