Hey i thought i'd post a recipie i like
.
Albondigas (mexican meat balls)
(this is for 2 people ... hmm or may be i count for 2 plus the husband... one of those, but you can double the size for 4)
3 tomatoes
half onion
1 wedge of garlic
1 cup of water (sometimes i add another half cup)
a little bit of pepper (table spoon)
about a table spoon of salt
1 lb of ground beef
1 egg
3 eggs
more pepper
salt
1 wedge of garlic cut into tini little pieces
First you sort of marinate the ground beef by just adding a little bit of pepper, salt, i like adding sometimes italian seasoning if i have some around if not, there's no need, 1 egg and mix it all and let it sit for a little bit.
In a pot with a little bit of water i boil my 3 eggs until they are hard
:lol:, while the eggs are getting boiled.
In a blender, you put the 3 tomatoes all chopped (big pieces), the onion, salt, pepper, the cup of water, and the garlic you make it very liquidy (in my blender there's a botton that says soup, so i just press that and let it do the rest
).
Once you have your liquid and your eggs ready, you grab an egg and cover it with the ground beef and make a nice ball (it gonna look like a baseball
), if you don't want to much egg like mua, you can cut your egg in half and make the meatball smaller.
once you have all your meat balls ready, in a large pan (you knwo one of those deep ones
), put a little bit of virgin olive oil, (i like to add a little bit of onions... just to give it a little bit of more flavor) and put your meatballs in, let them cook for a little bit, if you want... play with them so you don't get bored
(hey what can i say.... i'm a goofball
).
Then you add your liquid to the pan ( i like using a stainless steel strainer... just to make sure there's no big chunks or something) and add a little bit more of water (about a cup ) just so you have plenty liquid and let it all cook in medium (you know with a flame not to high ) for a few mins and then put it in low for about 20 mins.
If you want to spice this up, grab 3 jalapenos ( or if youre crazy grab habaneros
) and chup them all up in tini little pieces and dump them in the pan.
