PREPERATION METHOD

1. Mixture for the meatballs:

Mix all the meatballs ingredients to a homogeneous mixture, form round patties and fry in a pan with a little frying oil for about 2-3 minutes on either side over medium heat. Remove the meatballs from the oil and place onto absorbent paper.

You can also prepare the meatballs mixture in advance and keep in the refrigerator until preparation.

2. The sauce:

  • Heat a sauté pan with a little oil; add the garlic and dry spices, except for the salt.
  • Stir for about 2 minutes to release the spices aroma. Add the grated onion and fry for about 10 minutes until browned, stirring occasionally.
  • Add Eden tomato paste, fill the empty tomato paste can with water and pour about half the amount into the pan, mix and bring to a boil, do not cover.
  • Upon boiling add salt and the rest of the water and add another 1/4 can of water, stir, cover and bring again to a boil. Upon boiling, add the hot pepper and continue to cook with a lid on, on low heat for about 15 minutes.
  • Take the lid off, put the patties into the pan (submerge them) and continue to cook for another 5 minutes.

Serve with sprinkled parsley on top, tahini, a good bread or white rice

The meatballs can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days
