Categories     Pork

Time 45m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

250 g ground pork
250 g ground beef
1 egg
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
2/3 cup breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon cumin
flour
3 large tomatoes, chopped
1 large peppercorn, sliced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 chicken stock cube
2 tablespoons dry red wine
1 pinch sugar
3 drops lemon juice
vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Mix the meat, egg, onion, garlic, breadcrumbs and cumin together. Add salt and pepper.
  • Use the flour to form the meatballs with your hands ( not too small, not too big ).
  • Deep fry the meatballs in vegetable oil in a low heat. Do not overcook them.
  • Remove them from the pan and throw away the oil, apart from a few teaspoons.
  • Shallow fry the tomato and peppercorns. Season.
  • Add the tomato paste, the red wine and the stock diluted in water ( dont add too much water or the sauce will become runny ).
  • Add a pinch of sugar and a few drops of lemon juice.
  • Add the meatballs back to the pan and simmer in a very low heat for approximately 10 minutes, until the sauce is nice and thick.
  • Serve with rice.
