Category: Main course

 

 

Preparation:

  1. Pour the milk into a bowl and soak the roll in it.

  2. Peel the onions and dice finely. Peel the garlic. Finely chop half of it. Slice the other half very thin.

  3. Put a large pot on the hob and heat on high. Add oil and sear half the onions with the sliced garlic.

  4. Sprinkle on 2-3 tbsp flour. Douse with broth, tomatoes and 5 tbsp sherry.

  5. Crush the tomatoes a bit. Season with salt and pepper, and bring to a boil. Then turn down the heat and let the whole thing simmer for about 15 minutes.

  6. Squeeze the roll out thoroughly and put it in a bowl. Add the ground meat, remaining onions, chopped garlic, eggs and the rest of the sherry, and mix everything thoroughly. Season vigorously to taste. With floured hands, shape the meat mixture into small balls.

  7. Put a pan on the hob and heat on high. Add oil and sear the meatballs in portions for about 5 minutes. Add the fried meatballs to the tomato sauce and cook for another 5 minutes.

  8. Wash the parsley, pat dry and chop coarsely. Season the tomato sauce again to taste.

  9. To serve, put the meatballs with the sauce onto a plate and sprinkle with parsley.
