Meatballs in Almond Sauce
Serves 4
Ingredients
Method
Begin by making the meatballs.
First place the two slices of bread in a bowl of water and leave to soak for a short while.Drain and squeeze off excess water.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg, add the crushed garlic, parsley, minced meat and bread, season and mix thoroughly together.
Now take pieces of the mixture using your hands (about a tablespoon at a time)and roll each into a small round ball. Coat each ball with breadcrumbs and brown by frying them in a large frying pan in half a litre of oil.
For the Sauce
Fry Almonds, garlic and bread until brown in a little olive oil. Blend these ingredients with the tomatoes and a glass of water. Transfer mixture to a casserole together with the browned meatballs and cook with a lid on for 15 minutes or until sauce has thickened.
Serve with Pasta of choice, rice or french fries.
